Browne rides out claim on Paddys Planet

His owner, Richard Murphy, is from England and it’s his first horse. He bought him during the summer, off Colin Motherway, on the recommendation of Jamie Codd after he won his point to point in Tipperary. He had a run in Galway the first day and probably needed it, and this was the ideal race. It’s great for Richard. He always wanted to have a horse in training, and now he’s at the stage where his business is going well enough that he can. We went to a couple of the sales to buy one and we couldn’t manage to get one because they were making so much money, but Jamie recommended this lad, so it’s great. He’s out of a black-type horse (Lead Kindly Light) and will definitely be a lovely three-mile chaser.

It'sallabouteve and McCurtin in Limerick

She is back to where she collected here last Christmas and has developed into a grand mare now. Starting off today I thought the ground was a bit good for her because she won here on pure bog last year. We might go for a winners' race now but we'll have to think about it. She is very promising and everything comes naturally to her.

Elite Des Mottes finishes strongly for her second win

Lake Chad submerges his rivals

It was a nice performance. Over the first three hurdles he was making ground. He jumps particularly well, and he hasn’t an awful lot of it done, but he’s pretty natural. Two miles is his trip, as he seems to have a bit of pace. I was pleased with his first run (at Clonmel, after a long lay-off). He had a leg, and that’s why he didn’t appear. He’s declared for Thurles on Thursday, and I’m sure if he’s alright he’ll pull out on Thursday.

Secret Sea surges in under McInerney

Robyndeglory tastes success again

That was great. Her form in maiden hurdles was very good and to be fair to the handicapper, he held her at 102 when she was just always knocking at the door. She’s been called a lot of names by lads backing her at short prices, but the visor has changed her. And this is great for Neil O’Mahony (owner) because he’s my main supporter. He’d have four or five in the yard the whole time.

Galypso Clermont delivers under Deegan

He stays at it, had placed form and was third with Richie the last day. The inside track here is tight but there was no point in changing tactics on him as there was no point in making more use of him when he is flat to the boards from start to finish. I told Richie not to change too much and keep him in his comfort zone and he jumped well. We'll look for something similar next.

Something Abouther puts in good late work

She had a good run the last day but got an injury so we had to nurse her back. She is going well now and it'll keep my father happy as she is a homebred. They have been a good family to us and the mare is old now so hopefully she can take over the mantle. We'll probably go back hurdling now, she is a fine filly by Flemensfirth and hopefully we can win a few races with her.
