Straight John going right way for Elliott

It probably wasn’t the strongest race in the world and I’d say he probably wants two-and-a-half miles. I’d say a rated hurdle somewhere would suit him well, he ran a nice race. He’s very straightforward. I’d say he wants further and Jack said the track was pretty tight for him.

Harding savours Grade 3 honours for Grainne A Chroi

That was great, we’re delighted. She’s actually a good mare, but she’s gotten stronger as she’s got older. We were a little bit worried as she got a bad fall before Christmas, schooling. She was telling us she was right but we were still nervous. Her skin was unreal. She’s tough and she actually did it really well. She came around the home-bend really travelling and he went for it. John hadn’t sat on her in a long time, but he won her maiden hurdle. We were just worried about today and we’ll see where we go now. We’ll see how she is tomorrow. She’ll tell us where we’re going next. That was amazing, I can’t believe it. She’s our pet at home. She’s not over-big, but she’s got a serious heart.

Mullins has big plans for How's Hannah

I think she’s a very good mare. I was keen to use one of my 21 rides on her because I just think she’s very good. We might look at the Grade 3 in Limerick during Cheltenham. Ideally, we would have run her last week in Clonmel, but it got called off. We’re a week closer now so we’ll see. Long-term, I’d be hoping she might be one for the Mares Chase in Cheltenham next year. She’s a fine big mare and I love her. She gallops and jumps. We’ve been very lucky with Tim Townend, when he recommends one you listen.

Walsh saddles first racecourse winner through Well Del

That’s my first winner, I only have the licence since November, so it’s great. We only have five in at the minute and we’re only kind of winding up a few of the younger ones. It’s great to get the first winner under the belt. It’s a bit of a surprise. We know he’s a good horse but on the day you never know. He’s tough as nails,. He’s probably a better chaser than a hurdler and we’ll see know whether we go that way again. I’ve had a couple of point-to-point winners and a couple placed in hunters chases before but that’s my first one under rules. Hopefully I can get a couple more.

Rebel Cowgirl digs deep for Quirke

. Two-and-a-half, going a right good gallop, is probably ideal for her. We held her up a bit the last day over two-miles-seven in Thurles and it didn’t work out for us. We decided to go back and make the running today and keep kicking. In fairness Cian gave her a great ride and she didn’t miss a trick. We’re delighted and we’ll try and get something similar in three or four weeks time. She’ll be a nice mare over a fence next year. She’s a well-bred mare, she’s out of a half-sister to Appreciate It.

Keep Twisting up and running for Faheys

Niamh was at the sales and she wanted to buy something to ride and she bought her very cheaply as a foal. It was always her plan to bring her in and race her. She hasn’t done a whole lot of galloping and you can see that today as she was very green. Niamh was determined and the mare knuckled down for her. I’d say she has a pretty big engine. We were surprised because Niamh owns her herself and she hasn’t done a whole lot of galloping, she did one gallop before on grass. They pulled well clear of the third horse there and she could be something very good and something to look forward to. We’re known to sell horses at home too, so she could be for sale. Niamh is a proper amateur and she did well to get her up on the line.
