Liffey lands another Dundalk claimer
Jamestown in cruise control at Dundalk
We gave him a big chance in Haydock, I thought he had a big chance. The draw wasn't kind to him, but I still was looking forward to running him in Haydock. We rate him very highly. It wasn't ideal obviously going to Haydock, and coming home, and coming straight up here in this heat. It was a maiden and to be honest he needed a run at that stage anyway. He's done well today and we'll have a look. He is (a premier handicapper going forward), he could be a Britannia horse depending on his rating. We'll see where he lands, there's a few (races). He's a nice horse anyway, there's plenty of nice races for him.

Cuban collects for McKenna
He enjoyed bossing them - all ours were a wee bit flat this past while. The one (Battle Borne) in the first race was second and ran a nice race, so they are coming back. What he does is break well from the stalls. He had a bad draw, so Luke decided to try and get him out and get him into a good position. He probably didn't realise he was as far in front, but he needed it in the end. He ran well to the line, so it gives him a nice summer scheme. We will follow the same route as last year and maybe go to the Curragh with him, that's the plan. That's a big boost for him, even a confidence booster for him and for us all!. He's a smashing horse and he gives it his all. Luke did the fractions well. He texted me earlier in the week for the ride and is a smashing lad. Conor (McKenna, son) never misses it. He'll be jumping around the bed in Australia, it's late there!
Believed 'ready to step up' after wide-margin victory
Ben said the last time she was ready to step up to a mile and a half. She's a little bit generous like most of those Frankel's, she gives you a lot in the morning, and she could be keen. We spent a bit of time kind of concentrating on getting her relaxed. Ben said she was much more easy today, the hood has seemed to help her as well. She's a very nice filly who stays well and I think she should improve. She should keep improving. At the moment, a mile and a half seems like a good trip for her. She is bred to stay. She has won a maiden by eight lengths in Ireland, so she is ready to step up. We'll speak to the lads and see what they say. It is just always nice to get that maiden win.
