Lad has Walsh and Gray back on track
He battled hard. He'll come on from the run hopefully too. He's tough,.
Granite on top at Naas again
Mckinley surprises in Lawlor's Hotel Grade 1
This fella is improving all the time but I didn't think he had improved that much,. I only threw him into the race at the last minute as I thought 'where else do I go with him.' . Paul gave him a great ride. The improvement I've seen in his homework is vindicated. Tell Us More jumped fantastic and raced great. He probably had to do all the donkey work and that probably just told. He beat off Free Expression, the one that we thought would jump and stay as well as anything. It's possible Mckinley's flat race experience might have paid off. Tell Us More had three races where he didn't have to fight or battle and inexperience might have beaten him. We'll look at the Deloitte now for them. There are a few novice hurdles around and we'll see how they come out of that and see how next weeks novices get on. We thought Tell Us More was a stayer but we might think about coming back in trip now.
Dearg 'Leaps' to hat-trick
He didn't jump as well today. He missed one at halfway and was close to a couple of them. He was very lucky he didn't unseat at the last. He did very well to come back and win after that,. He's going up in class and going a little bit faster. He's a big horse and experience might have caught him.
Tyner on fire with cross card treble
It took a while with her as she had a few niggly problems and fair play to Mr McManus for being so patient. I had her ready to go at the end of the season last year but the ground went on us. I don't know why it took so long this season – maybe because she had been off for so long.
Wasylocha/Elliott take Naas handicap again
David gave him a good ride. I'd say it wasn't a great race and he got a good four-year-old allowance,.
Sir Will green but a winner at 1st attempt
I thought coming here he was going to be green and he was very very green,. He could be, potentially, a very very good horse. He's the opposite to his sister (Que Pasa) and is lazy more than anything. He could have done with a lead for a lot longer.
