French Dynamite a more than able deputy

Options open up for impressive Riviere D'etel

I thought she was very good. She jumped well and Denis gave her a good ride, she's a nice mare,. We said we'd let her stride along and use all the allowances. She might have won with 10lb more, whether she would have won with 18lb more I don't know but she won very well. There is a mares' race in Cork in a few weeks time (Grade 2 Lombardstown Chase December 5th) and there is also a novice chase in Navan (December 18th). I wouldn't rule anything out with her and we'll keep all our options open.

Lunar switches on Power in Punchestown

That was more like it. I don't know what happened him in the north (Down Royal), he got a fright at the first and then his jumping just got worse and worse. In fairness to the horse he probably wasn't at his best either. Between the north and Leopardstown the last day he was a different horse, he bolted in last time. Maybe it was being in front but my horses weren't right for a lot of the time during the summer but he was running well even when they weren't right. He jumps well and there is no reason he can't compete with them in the better juvenile races. He has an engine and he stays well, for three-year-old hurdling that's what you want.

Sheehy excited by Captain Conby

I think he's a graded horse, he's only 80 per cent ready. He jumps really well. He was a little bit novicey today but I wouldn't mind that as he's naturally a very good jumper. I think he's a horse with a very bright future, he'll stay a trip and I think he'll go on any ground. We'll look for a novice hurdle now somewhere. Hopefully he'll be alright in the morning, it's a long time since I had a lad as good as this so I'll have to try and mind him. He was always cantering everywhere today. I thought he'd win his bumper first time out and I was surprised he got beat but Willie (Mullins) told me his one (Belle Metal) was a jet plane and it turned out it was. He had a disappointing run after that and we gave him a break then. Hopefully it's onwards and upwards.

Glenquin Castle just keeps winning

I think more than anything else he has started to enjoy his racing a lot more and he's probably getting confidence from getting his head in front each time. I often had horses that wouldn't show you that they were going to win at all and then the minute they win they'll go and do it again. They enjoy it and like the bit of adulation after. He started off low enough so it's great for everyone concerned that he's gone and done that. It was a great performance by the horse and jockey. Mark (Walsh) knows him so well, if you hit the front at the last with him it's curtains and he might be fifth or sixth. I'm delighted to have him because he's a pet in the yard and anyone can ride him. He's lovely to have around the place.
