Fahey's filly a smooth winner at Limerick

Her homework had been very good and we've been happy with her previous runs. It all came together today. Her bumper run is working out very well, and that was on ground which we didn't think she was a fan of. Even today, we didn't think she'd love that ground but she is progressing well. She has a nice turn of foot and the plan today was to run along the rail and to wait for gaps to appear. She went straight into the gap and appeared to have plenty in the tank at the end. It was nice to get it and I wish they were all that easy!. We'll see what rating she gets now and hopefully there'll be nice handicaps to be won with her. She can run through the summer.

Beauvallon strikes for Mullins & Townend

Collins & Harvey on the scoresheet at Limerick

That is job done although it wasn't an easy watch. Ben said he probably wants further and made hard work of it. His jumping had been letting him down every day, but he is gradually getting better. He is far from a natural jumper and lost a lot of ground today, but he has an engine. I bought him for €6,000 (out of John ODonoghue's yard) and thankfully the (Del Boy) syndicate, who are great supporters of ours, bought him. I'm delighted for Ben, too, who is a big part of our yard and schools all our horses and rides work.

Dolly Watkins hits the target for Howard

She has had her little issues and we gave her time. She ran very well in Down Royal after a lengthy break and I was hoping she'd go close today. It was foot issues that she has had, but we have a very good farrier who has done a great job with her.

Tiernan Power Roche rides out his 3lb claim

''The Lads' could have a good summer with Cromwell's chaser

He jumped brilliant on the whole, bar a couple of small mistakes in the back straight, and it all unfolded nicely for him. He was bought out of a claimer for handy money and won an €80,000 hurdle at Galway last summer, so has been a great horse for the lads. Summer chases over two miles will suit as he has plenty of gears.

Mullins' mare wins well Even Tho conceding first run

She is still very babyish and I think there is a lot of improvement in her,. It was probably the first time my mare came off the bridle and it took her maybe ten strides to click into gear, but once she did, I was always going to get there and she won hands and heels. She will now go to the Grade 3 bumper at the Punchestown festival and I think she will be much sharper the next time. . She has a proper national hunt, staying pedigree and while we weren't afraid of 2m3f, she isn't slow either. Pat Doyle recommended her highly and she has a bright future.
