Gainford caps memorable week with Downpatrick win
McManus on the mark with Pure Genius
he (Pure Genuis) won over three miles at Punchestown, he stays and he jumps and will make a nice chaser next year. He's a big, scopey horse. Maybe he'll run in Punchestown next - Fairyhouse is coming up in two weeks time and might be a bit quick for him.

Honeysuckle's handler wins northern hunter
he wouldn't be the fastest in the world but he's massive, stays and gallops. He just laid back off it and they went too fast. He dropped him well because there was no point in going after it. He has scope to burn and he is a serious horse to jump. I did expect a good run today. We had hobdayed him and he won his point-to-point and then it started to catch him again and we did a tie-back on him this time and it was a success. He has been working brilliantly and I expected him to be in the first three. He can handle that good ground and we'll maybe go for another one now.
McConnell's newcomer wins Downpatrick's bumper
we thought he was a nice horse. He's very big and a baby and he is just going to get better.
