Security scores despite market drift

Lucky Charm avoids the Drama

That's the way it goes when your luck is in. Her jumping is improving and hopefully she can improve another bit. She has won two now and we'll probably get her handicap mark.

Chips runs Rings around rivals

She's a lovely filly and has been working well but heavy ground has been killing her. It was described as heavy again today but it's not as bad as some of the ground she has been running on. Andrew got a very easy lead, and a 15 length lead around Wexford is hard to peg back. It was certainly an opportunistic ride, and she will be a lot better on better ground.

Gates Of Rome scores for Cooper & Murphy

He deserved that as he was unlucky to come up against a horse who was well in the last day (Lookoutnow at Gowran). He lost his way over fences but hopefully that will have given him a bit of confidence. Bryan is riding out of his skin at the moment and he is a nice man to have on your side. We will see what the owners want to do now and he may have another run over hurdles.

Well backed Beacon completes Cooper double

He did a tendon when he won here the last time and I didn't think I could have him ready enough after 505 days off. He was always a great jumper and Bryan said had he jumped the last better he would have won handy enough. I have him in the Irish Grand National but we'll see how he comes out of this first. Hopefully he'll be ok in the morning and he likes good ground.

Rothwell doubles Up with Mark

He's been knocking on the door, and just found it too hard to jump out of the ground at Navan last time. He'll continue to mix it in handicaps both over hurdles and fences. I'm delighted for Carol Hogan who is the most supportive owner anyone could have. It's my first winner in her colours, and that pleases me most about this win.

Dunne gives Young a well-judged ride

She was unlucky a few times and she was sick the last day she ran.
