Varshini strikes for Stack at Gowran

She had a good run last year and had a few little niggly holdups when we were trying to get her to the 'Million'. She scoped wrong and a few things like that. She probably does need a dig in the ground and hopefully she will come forward from that. She’s in the Irish 1,000 Guineas, but that will probably come a bit too quick at this stage.

Dinamine makes breakthrough on his return to Mulvany

He’s only after coming back to me a couple of months ago. He was with me as a two-year-old and went away then for a few years. It doesn’t pay to fall out with anybody!

Scott Key wins impressively for Slatterys

I was hoping he’d do that as we’re going for a premier handicap at Naas on Monday and that will get him into the handicap. He’d three runs in maidens last year and was always big. He ran well on his reappearance at Cork where he was a bit green, and I thought he’d improve a lot. I always thought he’d handle that ground, and he did it well. Hopefully he’ll climb the ladder.

A fine Spring Evening for Latta and Foley

He had a very good run in the first three-year-old hurdle two years ago and then ran back on the Flat and missed over a year through injury. He’d two runs over hurdles in the winter, but it was proper deep heavy ground, and he didn’t go on it. I know it’s heavy there today, but it’s not winter jumping ground. He’s always had ability, but has had niggles and missed plenty of time. He’s always worked well and maybe having time off helped him as he’s big and backward. He may be a nice dual-purpose horse, but doesn’t want any worse than yielding to soft jumping ground.
