Arctic Fly makes winning start to hurdling career
Ziggy another for the in-form Elliott/Gilligan combination
Arrycan back to winning ways for Cusack
That was nice. Things happened a bit quick for him the last day but he came out of the race well,. He's probably a horse for the bigger tracks and he got into a lovely rhythm there, ears pricked, and he jumped for fun. It's nice to have him back, he's a nice enough horse. It's lovely to win, they are a great bunch of lads and they are getting great fun out of him. He could maybe go for the Galway Blazers, that would be made for him I'd say. He wouldn't get into the Plate.
Londonofficecallin lands some nice bets for McNamara
Dan was good on him, he gave him a great ride. There wasn't much pace and he let him roll away in front, I'd say he got a bit of a freebie in front but having said that he wound it up well from the back of the third last and he was impressive. His form had been hit and miss so it's hard to know the strength of the race. If it was his first handicap you might give him the benefit of the doubt but he could come out and flop the next day — hopefully he won't. There is a race for him on the Flat next Friday, a mile-and-a-half at Fairyhouse, and he might go there.
Warm comes good for Rothwell
Experience proves crucial for Cody's Fella in Maiden
Mister Beeton gets dream run in "1-2 Free" Handicap
He got a great ride off Shane, he put him asleep and cut every corner he could,. We were confident enough turning in, he was only going through the motions and once he got the gap I was confident enough. He won well in the end. He'll keep tipping away, he loves that ground. He likes a bit of space between his races so we'll pick something out in five or six weeks.
Mullins has all the Aces in Punchestown finale
She was very good. It wasn't the plan to make the running but no-one wanted to go on,. She won over two-and-a-half so I let her go on. The Slattery horse was annoying us all the way, sitting on my boot, so she was very good not to let that get to her. She quickened up, it's hard for a mare to win with a penalty and she's not over-big but she has an engine. She has a lovely pedigree and it's a Flat pedigree. Even though she won over two-and-a-half the first day I think she could run on the Flat in time. I don't know what the plan will be.
