Naas winner Carlton Banks has Levins looking forward to 2022

I'm delighted with that, it was a very game performance,. We were going to run him at Dundalk because we were worried about the ground but we thought he'd learn more on the turf and we needed to get more experience into him. The ground was a worry and the trip is too short for him. Donagh was very complimentary about him, he said he was straight as a gun barrel but didn't go in the ground and the trip was short. His class, ability and temperament got him through. I'd imagine we'll put him away now and that will put a smile on his face. He will physically develop and he could just be a lovely horse to look forward to next year. We didn't run him at two as he was physically and mentally backward and the penny is only starting to drop now. It's hard to find out their trip with these horses when they have so much ability, they run well in spite of things. We are still learning about him and have only trained him very quietly this year and last year. That's only his third run and I've a lot to learn about him. We'll take baby steps with him and see how much he develops over the winter.

Earls claims Kessaar handicap again

He's been knocking on the door all year but just never got that real heavy ground, that's the key to him,. Five furlongs is probably a bit sharp for him but when he gets heavy ground it brings him into play. I'm delighted, Martin (Sheridan) is a great supporter and has great patience. He won it last year and we were confident coming here today. It worked out and the rain came for him. That's probably it as Dundalk's not really for him. He's been to Galway, Listowel, he's done them all. He's a great little horse.

Joe gives Noel and Dylan another win in memorable 2021 Flat campaign

I was complaining when the handicapper put him up 6lb for finishing ninth in the sales race but obviously he was right,. He should improve from two to three because he's still a very backward horse. I actually bought him online, without seeing him, for €12,500. I'll talk to his owner and see what he wants to do but he certainly won't be running on the all-weather so I'd imagine that's it and he'll come out early next year. He loves soft ground, those Fast Companys do. It's a lovely way to finish the season, the season was good to us on the Flat so we'll be sorry to see the end of it.

Agitare back to winning ways

I think this might be the first time he's run on really bad ground,. He had a fairly lean season and could go to Dundalk. I'd love to see him over hurdles.

Keane delights followers with 33/1 win on Yaxeni

It was a brilliant ride and it encapsulated Colin's whole season in a few minutes there,. To be fair to the filly she's an absolute model of consistency. It's the first time she's stepped up to two miles and we knew she'd get it no problem. She thrives on that ground, she's so one-paced but a good one-paced. She stays in training next year and it will be all about getting black-type. Getting that trip on that ground she can step up in class as well, she might have to travel to the likes of France.
