I’m over the moon with him,. He’s a tricky horse at times but he actually ran a cracker in the charity race last time and I think it helped him an awful lot, he got a bit of confidence out of it and he’s been in super form at home. You can never be confident enough to actually say today is the day. I’m delighted, I’m delighted Paddy rode him and for everyone involved. He won this day last year as well and I think Killarney suits him. He has a long enough straight there that when he gets into a fight he’s able to stick his head out. I was hopeful but lightning doesn’t strike twice. I was so happy with the way he came out of the Curragh.

Gaoth Chuil doubles up on handicap debut
She’s a right little mare. She stays well and handles that two miles. The ground wouldn’t want to be any quicker for her,. She’d want an ease in it but it’s safe. Colin Keane rang me last night, because he had ridden her in Cork, and said the ground was as safe as you’d like and you could run anything on it. If she reproduced her Leopardstown run she’d be hard to beat. She’s not totally in love with jumping a fence. She jumps it but she doesn’t attack it. She’ll go to Galway, whatever she gets in to. If she got into the big amateur handicap she’d run in it but if not there is a two mile handicap for her.
