Khov collects on chase debut

It has been a long time between wins but he tries hard and is ground dependant, so we were worried today. He is better on better ground as he breathes easier on it and at least it was loose today, as he cannot go on tacky ground,. The lads who work with him, Tommy Condon and Johnny Kirwan, couldn't see him being beaten as he was in great form and I thought if he could get through the ground, that he would take a lot of beating. He is a bit daft, he spent all morning trying to kick the hind shoes off himself in the stable and we weren't able to clip him either, or anything like that. He is just very highly strung. His breeder Jim Nash, from Scarriff, is a wonderful owner and is very patient. He never questions what I want to do as long as I keep giving him the information.

Fire strikes at 25/1 in hunters

We expected him to be placed definitely but obviously the favourite fell and it opened up that way,. We were hoping to finish second so we're delighted with him, as he is a small little horse but is as tough as nails and jumps out of the stable rearing to go every morning. Darragh had a treble last Sunday where he had his 100th point-to-point winner and rides the odd horse for me. The four-member (Tutti Fruitti) syndicate are local and are headed by Tom Keogh, who bred him too.

Charme impresses on first start for Mullins

Cairos gets job done after last flight scare

It is job done and he never came out of second gear. Jack said it was his fault at the last as he said he should have either taken him back or asked him, but I loved the way he came back on the bridle straight away and you'd have to be impressed by that,. We came here looking for good ground, so I was nervous, but it was either come here or to Navan or Punchestown next week, which was getting too close to Cheltenham. I don't think he could have done any more and he is very fast. Jack said the boot he has is unbelievable. He'll learn plenty from today, and even racing in a big field will do him no harm. He'll go straight to Cheltenham and he'll be way better on better ground.

Kennedy doubles up on Cailin

She had finished second to some good mares previously, we have her back in form and she was entitled to win that race today. She loved the ground, and loves work and pleasing you. She is a joy to have and Jack made things easier today. We have six or eight horse in training, it's not easy but days like today make it fun!

Wind breezes to easy success

He is a big 17 hands horse and we're obviously looking forward to him for next season. We'll stay going now as he goes on that soft ground,. He will be a lovely horse when he goes over a fence but we'll keep doing what we're doing at the moment. He has a big frame to fill into.

Kenneally judges it well on Bleu

It was a great ride and Michael gets on great with her. He knows how to ride her, just lets her at it and she does her own thing. She is honest out,. The owner wants to cover her but I'm trying not to for another while, as there are more races to be won with her, especially over fences. She just has to get things her own way as she enjoys it being out in front.
