Fairyhouse Sat, 7th Oct, 2023  Must Meet Cecil It was a very tough effort by him and a great ride by Carl,. He's three from four now with the cheekpieces on and they are definitely helping him. Getting his head in front in the first claimer really helped him and he's enjoying it a lot more now. He was passed up the run-in but battled back, it was a very brave effort. He'll stay going now as long as the ground doesn't get too heavy.

Navan Sat, 16th Sep, 2023  Meet My Loreley It was my fault the last day in Wexford - we rode her the wrong way, we dropped her out and there was no pace and it turned into a sprint,. She wants a big, galloping track like this. She has plenty of experience now, she has her point-to-point won but I was surprised how well she travelled all the way down and, then when the other horse came to her, I thought he might take her by surprise and just go by her, but she heard him coming and picked up. This is a bonus because she is a staying mare, she is a jumping mare. We are delighted to get that job done today. She won a point-to-point in Lisronagh last year, so on the basis of that she is well capable of winning a mares' maiden hurdle and we will see where we go after that. We'll go for a mares' maiden hurdle in three or four weeks time. I wouldn't think she would want deep ground, but until Christmas the ground doesn't tend to get too bad.

Bellewstown Wed, 30th Aug, 2023  Must Meet Cecil That's his grade and he's hardy enough. We weren't sure about the two and a-half miles but he stayed it there today. We gave him a bit of a chance early. Carl gave him a great ride and he's grand for that grade. He loves good ground and to make plenty of use of him, he's just a big galloper.
