Punchestown Sun, 12th Jan, 2025  Londonofficecallin He was great, he surprised me on the ground. He’s a small enough horse and most of his form is on nice ground. I wasn’t sure coming here, but I said we’d try and qualify him if nothing else. It’s a win and you’re in. Ask Anything was fourth and he could also potentially aim for the final. The last day (unplaced in Navan) was a bit of a head scratcher. He’s certainly back on track there.

Fairyhouse Sat, 14th Dec, 2024  Arch Enemy We would have been disappointed if she didn’t do that. She’s special to us as we don’t have anything in the yard like her. She’ll go to Leopardstown at Christmas and is definitely better around there than any other track in the country. There is a novice handicap and a mares' race and she will be entered in both. She is due to get a break at some stage before going back on the Flat and is very versatile ground wise.

Dundalk Wed, 4th Dec, 2024  Comfort Line I thought Sean Davis' horse (Sayifyouwill) would win it, but these claimers can be very funny. We were weighted to beat the favourite (Shoot To Kill) with Skontonovski and Comfort Line. Nikki Swango was weighted to beat the whole lot of them, so I thought she was the best one in, in the race. I wasn't expecting a 1-2-3 now to be honest, but it was great. I had one in Laytown one day and I think it is the only one I can remember. He has been a great horse, a great servant and is rock-solid in his grade. In the likes of claimers, he is in at a right price. He's a good horse and good old fun.

Leopardstown Sun, 20th Oct, 2024  Arch Enemy I'm delighted and a bit in shock to be honest,. Fergal Harford that's involved with me, and does all the pre-training, has a share in her and he was keen to go for this race so I have to give most of the credit to him. . I thought she might be a little bit outclassed but he's been very keen to run her in a good race with a light weight. . She loves it here and has been second a couple of times this year. It's all worked out on the day. . Julian got some lovely splits and she was brave. Everyone that has rode her has said that she has the heart of a lion, she showed it there today. . It's massive for us to win a premier handicap with a small string, it means a lot.

Bellewstown Wed, 2nd Oct, 2024  Arch Enemy She ran very well on slow ground here as a two-year-old. I'd say the race just panned out lovely, they went a good gallop. I was watching them going down the back and they were going 32/33 the whole way down the back, so I kind of knew they were going to come back. That's what she loves. She has been running brilliant races probably in races that the pace wasn't collapsing in front. She takes a while to warm up, but she needs the pace to collapse in front of her. I ran her over 1m4f last year and she probably wasn't strong enough for it. She looks like she wants it now, she is after strengthening up. Listen, over hurdles I still think there is a good day in her. She's a great old mare and if I had a few more like her.
