Serenity Grove wins well on hurdling debut

Archies Charm spring-heeled under Cooper

Owner/trainer Smyth has a few bob on his winner

That was a good, game effort. Early on (in his career) he was 55 lengths behind Envoi Allen so he's no fool. He has ability. Today I thought would have been a bit soft for him. Shane (Fitzgerald) gave him a good ride and is very good value for his 7lb. There was (plenty of money for him this morning), I probably started it but it wasn't all mine. I'm 85 in another three weeks but there will be no partying as I don't drink.

McConnell's Ally Cay thriving over hurdles

She's a great little mare. She loves it around here and obviously stays very well. She has the Flat speed to do them when she needs to. She has turned inside out with the hurdling and is unlucky not to be three from her last three. She has a long way to go but you'd like to think she will keep improving and is one to look forward to. She stays a bit further. I thought she would run well especially with Jack's 7lb and I thought she had a great chance off that mark. She's a real tough, hardy filly. She had plenty of racing on the Flat but she just likes this a bit more. She was sweating beforehand but that is just her. There's one more (meeting) here so I will have to enter the whole yard! The horses handle it well here and I love it here.

One-two for Elliott but Russell second again

I'd say the weight kicked in up the hill (on The Abbey).

Elliott doubles up with odds-on bumper winner

He's a grand horse and he will go jumping hurdles straightaway. We couldn't believe he hadn't won a bumper before now.
