Breeze Up purchase Crypto Force books Ascot ticket

He's very smart, we liked him a lot and picked this race out a while ago for him. We were very hopeful with his homework but then when you start hearing the talk about the others you get a little bit less confident. He's done it very well, he was a little bit slow away and in hindsight that's probably helped him and he's learned plenty. He was still quite green when he got there and ran about. They didn't go that fast and he's quickened up well from far enough back. The plan for us was that if he was able to win a race like this we'd bring him to the Chesham. He's another breezer, we bought him off Tallyho again. He's a lovely horse and anything he does this year is a bonus as he's bred to be a three-year-old. We're delighted and looking forward to him. My last four runners have been second so that will keep me happy for a while.

Age Of Kings opens account in impressive fashion

We're delighted with him, he was very green the first day and he got it together there so it was nice. They won't all go to Ascot, some will stay at home, and if he doesn't go he could stay for the Railway or something.

Irish Oaks the plan for well-bred Fennela

Ano Syra brushes rivals aside in sprint handicap

That was grand, she keeps improving and I'm delighted with that. It was a nice performance. Dropping back to five I was a little bit worried that she'd get outpaced but she travelled great and hit the line strong. A bit of black-type at the end would be the crowning glory with her. That was a nice pot and she's been competitive all the time so we're happy.

Earl Of Tyrone looks Ebor bound after easy win

He's a nice horse, he's just filling out his frame. I thought the step up in trip might suit, the way he trains he's just a galloper. Any time we work him he works better than he did the last time and he's got physically stronger in the six weeks since Bellewstown. I was hopeful that he might run a good race. He's got a slot in the Ebor now and I'd say we might look at taking it. Obviously the €600,000 Irish Cesarewitch here at the end of the year is very attractive as well.

Aratori goes one better on Curragh return

Markievicz finally gets to show her worth

I'm absolutely chuffed for the filly because she's so genuine and has had no luck and terrible draws. She is what she is but that's brilliant because she's the first winner out of Viztoria (won five times including at Group 2 level). We'll see what the handicapper does. Now that she's found her feet I hope she might be one that could win a few on the trot, it's just finding the opportunities for her. I'm ecstatic that Viztoria has had her first winner and now hopefully they'll just keep rolling. You have to drop her in and ride her for luck and Rory gave her a beautiful ride. He saw that he wasn't going to get the splits on the rail so he moved out and I loved the way she came home. She had the gears and he said she did everything perfectly.
