Galway Sun, 31st Jul, 2022  Politesse It’s taken so long to get her back after an injury in Cork and she loves good ground, she really bounces off it. I was so disappointed when the rain came but when I walked the track I was really happy with it. She was so tough, I’m really proud of her. Conor and her make a great partnership. It’s limited what she can go for so we may give her a break and try and get some black type early autumn. She’s not a winter girl.

Kilbeggan Fri, 15th Jul, 2022  Minella Youngy The step up in trip obviously was a big help. He’s been knocking on the door and was entitled to win.

Roscommon Tue, 14th Jun, 2022  Politesse I never had so much pleasure in seeing a horse back to winning ways. She has her problems and took a while to come back after unseating at Cork. We've just been trying to build her confidence to get her back here. Everything was perfect, she loves that good ground and loves to have them chasing her. Conor was really good on her today, he always is to be fair. That was her back at her best and I'm very proud of her today. She's got the class but it's taken a long time to get here. Nothing went her way in Killarney (behind Easy Game) in what was essentially a Grade 1 race. Hopefully that will fill her with confidence. I don't know what we'll do next but she'll definitely keep running.

Kilbeggan Mon, 13th Jun, 2022  Miss Us O I'm delighted for her to get the win as she's a consistent wee mare and she keeps galloping away. She was always going to do that over three miles and 2m6f at Downpatrick (in May) was too short for her - she needs a genuine three miles. She might be better over a fence and might sneak by in one of those low grade handicaps over fences. I'm delighted for Olivia (O'Reilly, owner) as she's stuck by her- she won a point-to-point at Loughanmore a couple of years ago but she didn't want to sell her. We'll tip away with her and see what comes up that is suitable. The 0-95s aren't easy to get into with balloting but she'll have a free pass (by winning) the next day.

Fairyhouse Sun, 17th Apr, 2022  Mt Leinster We were probably a little fortunate but they are there to be jumped. It was a nice race to win considering he didn’t jump as well as he can jump. He can improve when he gets better at his jumping. There won’t be too much for him summer jumping over that trip unless he goes out in distance. The Galway Plate is a possibility but he’s very keen and likes to get on with the job.
