Hardy Warrior seals across-the-card double for O'Brien
Mayflower shows plenty on debut in Leopardstown
Cosy for Composing in Silver Flash
North Coast makes it 3 for O'Brien and 2 for Browne McMonagle
That’s probably a good trip for him, a stiff seven. He ran great in Naas and you’d have to be impressed with what he did today. I backed him up a bit quick coming here, so we’ll probably go straight to the National Stakes now rather than going for the Futurity on the way. That would be my immediate thought. He’s a smart colt and has an exciting future. I was very impressed with his last half furlong. It looked like it was going to be an eyeballing match down to the line, but he really pulled away again.
Weld eyeing stakes races for Monet after handicap win
She likes nice ground and this was an ideal race for her. Tactics still win races and that was the plan,. It was a great opportunity, a lot of money, and we had to take it. She’ll be a stakes filly with a bit of luck. She’s progressing, coming forward nicely. She’s getting better with each race and building her confidence. I see her getting black-type.

He’s a big horse with a good pedigree and he seems to be improving with every start. Paddy have him a lovely ride. It looked to be fairly tight on ratings but he seems to be improving. He could be a Stakes horse. There is a nice mile-six three-year-old Listed race back here in a few weeks time and we might have a look at that.
