Guessthebill wins Roscommon opener

I picked out this race a while ago and thought it might be a bit easier than that but when we turned up on the day there were three nice horses in it. The trip was a small question mark but Denis (Lenihan) said he got it well and he relaxed well today. This is what he probably is and what he did earlier in the year was a bonus. We'll have a look at the Birdcatcher over six at Naas now; he's been there before, likes the track and that would probably be it for the season then. the lads bred him themselves so they are absolutely delighted; they’re all Dubs fans and they said it was nearly better than when Dublin won the All-Ireland!

Keep Believing wins under teenager Ryan

he was very unlucky he didn't win in Listowel and got 5lb for it and I just thought the 10lb (claim) would help him today. He's gone up 35lb coming here today and I was disappointed when he got 5lb in Listowel as he (handicapper) only gave the winner 7lb; he’s not always right!. The plan was to race sixth or seventh and take our time. I told him (Ryan) if he's not travelling to just sit and wait and go for him in the straight as it's a long straight. he's only a three-year-old and probably should have won four races this year and he's the first winner out of the mare (What ABout Me); she was a 94-rated mare and was only a short-head off black-type. The first foal actually had to be put down so this is the first one to race.

Winning return for Jer's Girl, Lismullen next

that's great and it's nice to have her back. She loved that ground and I had her fairly right for today. This was a nice place to start as she was still a maiden (on the flat) and she showed her class.

History helps Hogan to a claim reduction

that lad (Lost History) has been second three times this year so it's grand to get his head in front. Dylan gave him a lovely positive ride from 14: I told him just to sit wide and they'd sort themselves out and he just took the bull by the horns turning in. That's Dylan's 7lb claim gone now, so I'm delighted for him; he’s three (winners) from four for us now and he's going well.

Glory takes Roscommon's Grade 3 feature

McManus completes Roscommon treble

I’m delighted with that and she did it well. I was a bit afraid of the ground but when I went out there, I was happier with it. She's a classy mare when she puts it all together and was a bit unlucky at Kilbeggan (when unseating rider) but she jumped very well today and we're delighted. We'll look for something similar, see what the handicapper does and we'll look at staying chases from 2m4f onwards. Things are going great at the minute and hopefully they keep going.

Burren Life makes winning hurdles debut

he’s a grand big honest galloping horse and in fairness to him, some of his bumper form last year was good. He's a big chaser in the making for next year and whatever he does this year over hurdles will be a bonus - I’d say he wants three miles. It's also great for Jack (Kennedy) to ride a couple of winners again and get his confidence back. When things are going right it works out grand because he went up the inner going well (at the second last flight) and if things didn't work out he would have got stopped.

All-conquering Carberry wins another bumper

he's a nice horse and is a horse for next year, as he's a big raw, weak horse: as you can see he's massive. He had to do the donkey work and go out and make the running. I think he's a nice horse and he definitely won't run in another bumper.
