Lovely start over flights for Product
He is a grand horse. He forgot about Fairyhouse. He loves good ground and jumps like a buck, that's his game,. He could go another half a mile or another six furlongs if he wanted. He is a very straightforward horse. I'm not sure where he will go next but it'll probably be a winners of one or a novice hurdle. It would be nice to go to Galway with him and it's nice to get today out of the way.

I'm delighted for Paul Mullins, he lives locally, only fifteen minutes up the road. We took a bit of a chance going in to a competitive handicap with an inexperienced mare but she was working well and Paul likes to have runners here,. It worked out well for us all. It's a beautiful pot to get for a filly like that. Whether she'll run tomorrow or not I'm not sure. We will see how she is in the morning first. I might find out what the handicapper's views are on it. Shane Butler done a bit of schooling with her up the Curragh since her last run. She jumps these hurdles much better than the old type of hurdles. Galway would be in the pipeline for her.
Plot put right 27 days on
He should have won here the last day. He got stuck in. I would have been disappointed had he been beat today,. He did it nicely and he'll mix it during the summer. He is a grand horse. I've minded him over the last two seasons. I think he has got a nice future. He is a half-brother to a horse who was fifth in the Derby last year (Humphrey Bogart). His grand dam was the grand dam of last year's Derby winner, so it's good blood. His dam is by Kahyasi and there is a lot of Kahyasi about him. Hopefully he can go on from here now, he hasn't been over raced. He should give somebody a bit of fun if I can find an owner for him.

Sweet brace for Ruby
We didn't cover her after, we changed our minds. I've nothing planned yet, we are just taking it a day at a time. We will take her home and see how she is, and go from there.
2 for Mullins as Sapphire makes great start
