Rath a special winner for Griffin
That's my first winner for Mr McManus and he's out of Rua Lass which was my first winner as a public trainer, so it's great on both counts,.
Return to Fairyhouse does the trick for Magic
He broke his pelvis in three places in Naas (March 2011) and we thought he'd never race again,. We went to Punchestown yesterday and thought we'd a good chance (with Dantes Firth, favourite, finished 4th) and I thought we'd no chance today but that's racing!

D'ete brings up McManus double
She's getting her act together but needs to improve her jumping. If she can do that she should improve away. I'll probably find a mares' novice chase but I have no big plans for her at the moment.
Compo for Morris and Casey
I'll find another novice for him and he'll be aimed at the good novice handicap at the Punchestown Festival. He ran a bit free but jumps well which is the main thing,.
De Tour a big Champion Bumper player
He came to us with a big reputation but was not showing anything until he did a nice bit of work early this week. So to do that off what looked a slow pace, I'm very happy with him.
