Bellewstown Sat, 12th Apr, 2025  Dunany Point There was loads to like about it considering we were hoping he would do something like that in Limerick the other day (seventh on Thursday). He never seemed to raise a gallop in Limerick the other day. Bit of both (better ground and tactics), I'd say. Kieren said he hit the one well-watered patch in Limerick and he just came back underneath him and stopped jumping. We were scratching our heads, brought him home and rode him out yesterday myself, and he was bucking and squealing. Threw him out in the field this morning and he galloped around the place. We are a mile down the road, so we had to come and take our chance. Kieren said what was I thinking and I said pop him out. If something goes (on), they go, but make up his mind. We know he jumps well, so let him see his hurdles and attack them. It worked out well. It is our back garden, so it is great. It is my first winner here as a trainer, I had plenty of luck here as a rider. No plans really. I had Limerick in mind for a while, waiting for it. Thought we had him fairly right to run well and he was very disappointing. This was an extra race put on and I put him in. We'll see what the handicapper does.

Navan Sun, 9th Feb, 2025  Waittillitellyou We had him fit to run, I suppose, in October, but he is a horse that broke down very badly on me as a five-year-old. I have to wait until I get his right ground - he loves it bottomless. I thought they would call it off that day he won in Cork, he can't have it deep enough. I thought it might be just too tacky for him here today because it is quite tacky. He was mighty through it, he absolutely loved it. He's a huge, big horse. If Fairyhouse at Easter turned up minimum soft, he might go there.
