Colla lands some nice bets under Kennedy

I thought the ground had gone on her but she handled that well. I'm delighted. Jack gave her a great ride, she jumped great and came home well. She has a bit of a wind problem and the soft ground can catch her out a bit. We'll look for another handicap now if the handicapper isn't too hard on us. That was a much better performance than last time. She finished a bit dead in the north and was lucky to get to the line.

John claims Craddockstown in style

Flyer battles to Grade 2 success

He was very good. He went on soft ground before in Navan so we knew the ground would probably be okay but I was surprised how well he handled it. He might go now for the Fort Leney over three miles at Leopardstown and then go to Cheltenham for the four-miler. Barry said he was very professional today and jumped brilliant. Even when he stuck him in short he was very good and I'm delighted with that.

Faugheen floored by Nichols Canyon

That worked out completely different from the way they worked on Tuesday. Faugheen left Nichols for dead - maybe he left his race behind, I don't know. Nichols won four Grade 1's last year and he's no back number by any means. He looks like a Champion Hurdle horse now, rather than the stayers. Faugheen was a little disappointing. Ruby said he hung but horses hang when they get tired. Maybe he just met a good horse. They went a good gallop and Nichols did it the hard way, out in front, and jumped fantastic. Maybe he has improved more. Until he tells me something wasn't right I'm not making any excuses for Faugheen. We'll see how they come out of the race and they'll be entered in all those races that Champion Hurdle horses should be in. They'll probably have to take on each other but if we can keep them apart we will. Nichols Canyon was under the radar last year. He was a second string but did win four Grade 1's. We used the wrong tactics with him at Cheltenham and that took the gloss off him a bit. It was out fault. He put in a huge performance today. The other horse (Wicklow Brave) ran very well. We rode him to come home but Patrick said we should have made more use of him. I'll talk to the owner and see if we keep him in training. We were going to put him away but ran him in this race as he was so well.

Conal makes it two from two on 'track' debut

Staying chasing will be his job and that's a bonus. He looks to be a nice horse,. Ruby said he travelled and travelled and pick up when he asked him. He kept galloping, loved the conditions and jumps well so it's all positive. I'll talk to Mr Conway as I don't know what the initial plans are. We might keep him over hurdles.

Steel survives last flight scare

Billy's Hope another for team Harrington

It's great she's won as she was just beaten the last day. She's a beautifully bred filly. She may pull out again for the mares listed bumper at Navan although it might come a bit too quick. She loves that ground, that's what she needs. She won well and was doing nothing in front. The owners (the Flyers Syndicate) also have Cailin Annamh and it was a similar syndicate that had Macs Joy. It's great for them. She's a lovely filly and they lease her.
