War gets on top late in opener

We're delighted with that as Jim's horse has a good bit of form,. He's green but won nicely at the line without having too hard a time. It's a lovely bit of ground and he loves fast ground. I wouldn't mind going back in trip with him as he's got plenty of speed.

Fionnaur wins easily for Bolger & Manning

I think she goes on any ground but she probably wouldn't want it terrible. It was very bad at Tipperary.

Quick double for Manning & Bolger with Baire

He's been for sale the whole time and has even been schooled . he jumps like a buck. Nobody has bought him yet,. He's been on the transfer list since he won his bumper.

Pale Mimosa takes Saval Beg honours

It was a very pleasing introductory run. She has been slow coming into her coat so we took our time with her. She real only came into it in the last ten days and considering that I thought it was a very good performance. Pat said it was a very true run race and the second is very consistent. She is entered in the Gold Cup (at Royal Ascot) but obviously she is in the same ownership as Rite Of Passage. He is in very good form and he will run in it unless the ground comes up firm, in which case she will run in it. One concern I had coming here today was ring rust and her fitness might get found out. We will look at all the nice staying fillies races across Europe for her now and we might travel with her. The Lillie Langtry and the Parkhill are possibilities.

Dibayani charges home for McDonogh

It was a good performance. Everything went to plan. He settled well, they went an even gallop, he loved the ground and got the trip,. It took him a while to learn to settle but you couldn't fault him today. It work out terrifically and he quickened up lovely. He'll stick to these black-type races and could even go another furlong. Now we know he settles staying should be no problem.
