It's Never Simple gets up late to register first career success
He’s been disappointing over hurdles and we had the option with his three runs in handicaps that he can get in off his mark over fences,. He ran okay in Tipperary without setting the world alight, finishing eighth in a handicap chase there. The ground might have been a touch on the dead side for him and it was his first time as well. I was delighted the way he did that today. He was a bit lucky at the second last but finished the race well, which is good. Hopefully there might be another one in him.
Deja Vu as Il Silenzio double up for Brassil and Doyle
That was great. He’s a similar sort of horse to the other fella,. He had his first run over fences here off his hurdle mark and we were delighted with the run but then he just didn’t back it up in Tipperary. I think the ground was slower there and it just didn’t happen for him, and he actually pulled up. We said we’d come back to where he ran well. He enjoyed it around here and loves the nice ground as well.
Ripsnorter makes all under Ryan to land Roscommon finale
He’s been working well with all the other bumper horses so we were expecting him to go very close today. He had the form in the book, the horse that was behind him in Killarney (Maskarvel) was second in Galway and I know the Murphys like their horse that was in front of him (Tandy’s Bridge). We could have very easily gone to Galway with him but we decided to split them up and he came here just to give him more time from Killarney. We’re very happy with him and long may they keep running like this. He jumps very well at home so the options are open but it’s possible he could be sold after today. If not he jumps well and we’ll go that route.
