Limerick Fri, 19th Jun, 2026  Motta Alta She had a nice run in Naas when she was a little keen early and didn't see out the mile, although I don't see any problems with her getting that trip when she settles. Nathan said she was keen again today and that it took him a while to get cover for her. It was softer than ideal for her, but she handled it well and saw out the distance. She is a typical Ghaiyyath who knows how to gallop and run. We'll see what the handicapper gives her, and I have her leased from her breeders Deer Forest Stud, so we'll see if the owners want to sell her.

Cork Sun, 14th Jun, 2026  Hambelton He is a huge, huge horse. He is like a point-to-pointer and is a typical Ghaiyyath. He is brilliantly behaved at home, a child would ride him, but he likes to get on with the job at the racecourse. To be fair to him, that's the first time he has ever stepped foot on good ground and that is what he has been crying out for. The ground came up too soft for him at Haydock the last day and I think he is a very nice horse who will progress a lot. He'll be sold later in the year and could be a lovely horse for someone for next year.

Leopardstown Thu, 4th Jun, 2026  My Girl Grace She is raw as hell and I told the owner 'she is going to be lovely’,. I doubt she'll ever run over 10 (furlongs) again after tonight. She'll be wanting further but it's a nice place to start over 10 and we'll see where it gets us. I'd say the rain that's fallen and the ground actually came in our favour. You'd love how she went through A to B all the way and from the winning post to the pulling up was the most impressive part of it.

Leopardstown Thu, 4th Jun, 2026  My Girl Grace She is raw as hell and I told the owner 'she is going to be lovely’,. I doubt she'll ever run over ten (furlongs) again after tonight. She'll be wanting further but it's a nice place to start over ten and we'll see where it gets us. I'd say the rain that's fallen and the ground actually came in our favour.

Naas Sat, 9th May, 2026  Bint Majestic Roi We were worried about the ground. She'd probably have been a very unlucky loser if she got beat as she got no run. She just lacks a bit of toe on that ground. Probably 7f she wants really; that's her trip. Andrew didn't want me to run her. He said the ground was too quick. I said that I wanted to see if she was one for the Scurrys over six-and-a-half. She had to win today to go for that. That's the plan now.

Curragh Sun, 19th Apr, 2026  Bint Majestic Roi She was bred to be a mile-and-a-quarter filly and we were training her that way,. Then we started working her this year and she was leading a few horses. Suddenly they couldn’t get to her so we said ‘maybe this one is a sprinter’. We bought her for six grand last year in the Newmarket sales. She has a good pedigree, she’s by Ghaiyyath and it’s all stamina. The dam is a half-sister to Hi Riyal, who was second in a Guineas. We’ll keep tipping away and see where she ends up. We own her ourselves, she runs in my nephew William’s colours. If someone comes for her we’ll never refuse money!
