Colcannon proves a lunchtime treat at Fairyhouse

To be honest he’s been very disappointing up until now.  . I’d say ground is a lot to do with it and when he gets it a bit quicker he’ll be even better. . On what he did last year you’d be kind of expecting him to be one of the top horses around this year but his couple of runs have been very disappointing. It’s taken him a while to learn how to jump as well. The reason he spent a second season in bumpers was because he was such a poor jumper. . He’s just getting the hang of it now. The last was the only mistake, he jumped brilliant up until that. . Donagh was saying the ground made a huge difference to him. We’ll be able to continue on with him for the summer. 

Katie another big-priced winner at Fairyhouse

That was great. I thought she was well handicapped on her maiden hurdle form, but she just lost her way,. She’s been working very well for the last couple of weeks, so we were expecting a big run from her today.

‘He was well named, I think’ – Mullins impressed with He’s On Fire

He’s a good horse, he was giving a penalty away there,. It was nip and tuck down to the last and Noel Meade’s horse fell. Jack thought he had the beating of him and I thought it was a good performance. He could be a nice chaser next year. He was bought to be a big chaser down the road, he’s a gorgeous horse. I doubt if we’ll see him again this year. He’s a lovely horse for the future.

Fire burns bright in Grade 2 novice

It was very impressive. He’s shown us at home that he was half decent,. He’ll probably go on again to Punchestown, all being well. He looks like a real chaser in the making, he has size and scope. He might just be another good horse for Rich and Susannah (Ricci). I’m sure he’ll have no trouble getting three miles over fences. I thought he jumped well enough but the way he opened up from the second last was wow, it was something else. There was a nice field of horses there, including our own. I didn’t think he’d leave a few of our own horses that far behind. He’s just improving all the time. We’ll have a look at the Grade 1 in Punchestown but I’m looking forward to next year more than anything else, when he goes novice chasing. He was well named I think.

Zanoosh grabs Grade 1 glory for Murphy

Meyler doubles up on Cawley's chaser

It’s a nice day to have a winner. We thought he’d run well but you never know coming here. . He’s a nice horse, jumps well and he’ll have learned a lot from that. He was never in front before. We always knew he had a lot of ability and a lot of jumping ability. Tom Gibney’s horse (Anotherway) was flying and I thought he’d maybe flown, but Donagh thought he had enough to reel him in but you never know until you do it. You don’t want to see any horse falling. We’ll look at something in Punchestown, all being well.

Success for the Berry family in dramatic Joseph O'Reilly

It was great. I know there was a bit of carnage but he would have stayed on and who knows what would have happened. . We tried to qualify him for Aintree, to give Josh a spin over the National fences, but it didn’t work out. This is a good second best. . He’s had good form and came up against a good horse the last day (Asian Master). . He was a decent horse back in the day for Christian Williams and Mark Scott. They gave him to us to let Josh get a lot of experience on him and it’s great. . Josh has only had a few rides on the track and he’s ridden a bumper winner.
