Warsaw impresses on debut at Navan
O'Sullivan eyes Rockingham for Fair Taxes
Strong performance and got a nice light weight. Came up well up the drier ground and maybe he will get into a Rockingham (at Curragh) or something like that. He went to Chester the last day and things just didn't work out, he was drawn one and they just went very hard early. He probably doesn't see out six anyway and was only beaten three lengths. We had him in Tipperary the other day and it just went very soft and it wasn't going to work out. Hopefully we can get into the Curragh. Tough (horse), obviously last year was hard for him as a three-year-old. They always find it hard, there's not too many three-year-old only sprints and they are always better as four-year-olds. He's (Powell) riding like a man inspired at the minute so a big help. Light weight and he's a natural light-weight jockey. Former champion apprentice and he is having a great year this year, so great to have him.
Busy spell no problem for course specialist Step Back In Time
Cross-country Harrington double topped off by Listed win for Barnavara
I think the draw helped and she made it a test down in grade. I think that is her perfect ground, good to yielding. She's huge and is going to develop - we will get her home and map out a plan. That was Red Letter's second run (of the season) and no doubt she is going to come on a tonne. We also had a winner (Bonnie Moon) this morning in Dieppe in France.
Burns' have a stayer on their hands to the delight of McCreery
She just followed the rail from where she came from (unseated Crosse after the line), but everything seems okay. You'd like the way she fought back and went on again. Her dam won over further. Just not one of Maurice Burns' to go more than five furlongs, he's used to all these Bungle Inthejungle's! I'm delighted he has a stayer and she will make into a nice stayer. Lovely first run and a nice second run, but Nathan just thought she didn't like to go up into the horses so we said today we would jump and try and make it. She's a shy filly and that's the way she is. I'll try and map out a plan now and I'm sure Maurice has a different one!
Ragmans Corner starts off what could be a productive summer
They are a local syndicate,. He's a grand horse and has kept improving all along from the early days when he was a bit backward and weak. It was a competitive race and he probably was entitled to be near favourite on his last run. He had a little setback in Punchestown and he bled that day for some reason. We didn't really find a lot wrong, but we gave him a month off. He just probably needed it in Roscommon the last day, he just tied up in the last furlong.
Cross-card brace for Cromwell as Arcland lands serious punt
Absolutely (still getting to know him). I suppose he was drawn wide and was stuck on the wing the whole way and was a bit keen with Robert. He stuck at it well and he did find plenty,. First run for us over hurdles in Downpatrick was very encouraging. He was off a very low mark there today. It was nice to win with him. Absolutely (mix and match over the summer months). He's going to get a penalty but I can't imagine it could be too big, he's still going to be in the low grade.
