Magnier-owned filly goes unclaimed following easy win
O'Brien edges ahead of 'King' Keane
he had an OK run the last day so he has obviously learned plenty from then. The step back in trip obviously didn't pose too much of a problem. Yes I think so (could go back up in trip) - Galileo should have put a bit of stamina into him so I'm thinking the step up in trip would suit him again. It's nice to get a win into him.
McGuinness bags another with prolific winner Satchel
everyone knows where he is going, he has won in Galway three times before!. He's in at Killarney next week but I'll see what the handicapper does to him but more than likely we'll wait for Ballybrit. He finished strongly in Bellewstown and we have been very happy with him, he just seems to come to himself at this time of year and we'll definitely be heading to Galway. He was a little bit frustrating for a while but he is back to a winnable mark, he's in great form.
O'Brien brothers bag Dundalk double
she's a tough, little filly and it's nice to get another win into her. I wasn't sure if I held on, sometimes it's an advantage to be on the rail here.
Marnane eyes Curragh prize with Alfredo Arcano
He's straightforward. It was a good performance, he'll go back for the Scurry (Handicap at the Curragh). We were going to bring him straight for the Scurry but I felt that it was a good pot here and worth coming up for. He'll have a 6lb penalty in the Scurry but he has a few quid in the bank. He is still improving and he is probably improving because he has gone more professional. He seems to be doing things where he used to be free, now he's doing what he is supposed to do. He's a nice horse and I think he is equally as effective on the turf. The run in the Rockingham was a very good one, it was a very strong race and a few winners have come out of it already.
Wishing Star scores for Stack and Hayes
Joseph O'Brien completes Dundalk treble
she had some good runs early but she lost her way a little bit then. Joseph (O'Brien) got her and she ran well here to finish second and then she went to Leopardstown and Ballinrobe and ran OK but back on this surface she seems to enjoy it. She's a tough filly and kept at it well today. Joseph said she had gone on the surface before and the trip was no problem. He said she was in good order and that if everything went right she would take a bit of beating. She's quite a big filly, she might just be coming into herself now. She's a well-bred filly as well so every win is a plus.
