Allaho easily books his ticket for Cheltenham

From what I could see it looked like he jumped great. Paul just thought he was getting a bit tired the last day and jumped left. I'm happy with him and I'd imagine he will take up some engagement at Cheltenham after that, we'll see whether he goes for the RSA or the Marsh Chase. I'll have a word with Paul and see what he says. At least that is job done, it's a bit later in the season than we thought but it's done. I doubt he'd run again before Cheltenham. I'll have a chat with connections but I wouldn't think so unless Paul thought he needs another day out.

Velocity Boy returns to form under Torrens

Great result for Dempseys as Luke scores on Persian Wind

That was great and it's great to have Luke back. The horse has no real pedigree but I think the grand-dam won a point-to-point. We had tried everything with him and this race arrived so we took our chance. He was in good form, he's had his little issues, but on his day he's not so bad and has won plenty of money for Robert (Honner, owner). We know he gets the three miles now so we'll tip away with him and probably mix it a bit with hurdles as well. He might struggle a bit out of his grade. I enjoyed today for Luke more than anything. He had it tough and it's great to have him back. He got back quicker than we thought.

Exit tops the Poll in big field Fairyhouse maiden

He's been promising to do that. It's only his third run over hurdles and he'll come on a lot again from that. I'd say he'll probably end up going two-and-a-half miles. I'll talk to Sean and see where he wants to go with him. I'd say he'll be a better chaser. Mark said he's just a little bit awkward when he's in tight to a hurdle. When he's meeting it right or long he wings them. He's a very big horse and he's getting stronger all the time.

Aarons Day justifies support for McKiernan/Browne

I'm happy with that and he's improving. He's still a big immature type of horse and not that sure of himself. Today has showed us that the penny is dropping with him at least. Before this we weren't sure he knew how to win. Even working at home he'd be going up with horses not as good as himself but was finding it hard to go past them and we were finding it very hard to understand that. We changed a few things with him and brought him away from home and it kind of helped him. He has dropped his head a bit to gallop. Today though when he was coming to the second last and last, he was on his own, and I was thinking he wasn't learning a lot and would he stand up or fall when he jumps the last. Barry gave him a grand ride and he knows him well of course. It's good to get him there and he should learn a bit from that. Mentally and physically he has a good bit of filling out to do. If he stays sound he should be a grand horse jumping fences next season. He's 17-3 so he's big enough. The other thing is that the bit of nice ground helped him. The way he moves and travels that ground helped him.

Highest Benefit keeps on a roll for Austin & Ryan

He stayed on great. He made a bit of a mistake at the second last but it woke him up. It was a bit too heavy for him here the last day and he liked that ground. We'll maybe get another one of these three-mile races somewhere.
