Get My Drift delivers Morris' Christmas present
He's a nice horse and he jumps well. The better ground was a help to him,. I was expecting to be second but we'll take everything. He ran well on bottomless ground last time. We'll look for a winners of one now. He'll be better with another year under his belt. That's a nice Christmas present.

Across the card double for Mullins as Diamond strikes
It was a nice surprise,. She did it well and probably the drier ground up here made a difference. She also had a first time tongue tie which was probably a help as well.
Franco De Port hits the heights on big day for Mullins team
That was a nice surprise. He jumped great and capitalised on the very fast early pace which seemed to catch out a lot of the runners. Bryan was terrific, just keeping him together and keeping him jumping. He took what was left to him after they went too fast early on. He could stick at that trip, but you’d obviously look at a longer trip for him, maybe two and a half. I’d imagine the Dublin Racing Festival will be the plan, we’ll see how he comes out of this race today.
Torrens excels as Uisce Beatha begins with a win for Roche
He was working well at home and we thought he'd run a nice race,. Simon gave him a great ride and I'd say he stays well looking at that, he came home well. He's a nice horse to have and I'm delighted. I have him since the summer when he came back from his break. It's great to get a winner here at Christmas.
Meade doubles up with Harry Alonzo
He's a really nice horse. We loved him all last year,. He didn't run again after his debut, he just had a small hold-up. He's my own so I thought I'd bring him here and see how good he was. We'll keep him in bumpers this year and I'd say he'll be a very nice novice hurdler next year. The first day he probably didn't learn much. Sean rode him a piece of work the other day and I nearly said to him 'why didn't you wake him up a bit more'. He was cantering the whole way. When he got there today and he did wake him up a bit he quickened up very well. He's just a good horse I'd say. I'd say he'll definitely belong to someone else the next day, I'd hope so anyway.
