Sniper shoots down the hot favourite
We've always thought a lot of him hence why we pitched him into the top grade. It's no fluke he's won his maiden. Sheikh Fahad and his team have entered him in the Newmarket sales. They will decide after this whether he goes or stays. He is a horse for the future and we are delighted to have him. Colin was very happy with him and he said he liked that soft ground. He'll be a better horse with a year under his belt.

More Listed success for Wannabe Better
She's fairly useful on her day. She was in season when I was saddling her, but it doesn't seem to make much difference to her. She ran well in Tipperary from a bad draw. She was too keen in the Matron, but probably wasn't good enough anyway. I don't know whether she'll stay in training or not. She's after winning two Listed races and her half sister is a Group 1 winner [Wannabe Grand in Cheveley Park in 1998].

Ancient Sands wins as Our Conor is fourth
He's just improving and he has so much confidence, I don't know why. I always thought he was OK, but I didn't think he was a 95 horse. The more he wins the more confidence he is getting. I didn't think he would be as effective on that ground, but he just has so much confidence at the minute. We don't do much with him at home. He's only rated 115 over hurdles. I took a chance and entered him in the November Handicap at Leopardstown so he may go there.
Goldboy delights Mullins
That's great for Fiona. That's three out of four for her now. I'm delighted with him. He disappointed a bit earlier on and probably the nicer ground helps him. I'll discuss it with the owners, he could go hurdling or I might bring him over to Cheltenham for a bumper [in November]. He's a horse that's improving all the time. On the evidence we've seen he's not a winter horse so we are delighted he has improved on this ground. We'll probably put him away when it gets really heavy and bring him back in the Spring.
