Bellewstown Wed, 30th Sep, 2026  Smoke Them Out He loved that ground. You'd say he shouldn't run well up here but, even on good ground, he had been running well. He would be a bit outpaced and run on from the road home. On that ground, I said, 'jump out to go hard and if anything wants to take it off you, fine'. All his wins have been with plenty of dig in the ground. He's in on Sunday in the Curragh and if the ground is soft, we will probably have to take our chance. He has won twice there.

Navan Sat, 5th Sep, 2026  African Affair We've always liked him,. I really thought today the ground was going to be too fast. He looked very uncomfortable down the back, and then Robbie said he just gave him a chance to get into it and then away he went.

Cork Sun, 30th Aug, 2026  Bamako Beach He's a horse that we've obviously thought a lot of, given where we've run him,. This was a good race, taking on older horses. Someone asked me this morning was he a 'moral' and I said on his rating, if he runs to his mark, he should be hard to beat. He's a good horse. We have the (Prix de la) Foret in our head for him and there is a Group 3 in a few weeks, called the Prix de Pin, in France. We may go for that or go straight to the Foret. He's still a big baby. He only had one run as a two-year-old and he finds things very easy. He's a bit over enthusiastic and sometimes they can be a bit slow to learn. He couldn't have done that any easier, he's won with plenty in hand. Today is a conditions race but there were no hiding places on paper, taking on older horses. He's gone and done it well with a bit in hand. He's done everything we could have hoped for and we'll take a shot now.

Fairyhouse Wed, 8th Jul, 2026  Bamako Beach It’s a big relief. He’s a horse that we hold in extremely high regard and obviously we pitched him in at the deep end last time. You’d always be a little bit nervous with a horse that is highly rated running in a maiden. Colin kept it simple, he said the ground was as tight as he’d want it and he was a little bit lonely when he got there. He was a little bit green, he’s never been in front. We’re actually figuring him out too, he’s still a bit immature horse. He said he’s a seven-furlong horse in a good race with a bit more kindness in the ground. He said he could be a good horse and he’s better than the winning margin. I’m very pleased for everyone involved because he’s always been held in high regard. This is his fourth start to win his maiden, but he’s rated 102. It’s a big box ticked. We’ll start to pick some targets now, from a month’s time on. The autumn is probably his time. We’ll look at some seven furlong targets with him and we will travel, he might go to France and places like that.
