Roscommon Tue, 2nd Aug, 2022  In Your Shadow He has been fired since his last run and just when he was ready to come back before Christmas he cracked his pelvis so he's had plenty of it,. I'm a bit surprised to be honest that he was ready enough for that. When I saw the soft ground I thought it would catch him out as he likes goodish ground. It's probably not that deep. He gave him a beautiful ride, just kept holding on to him. He will go back over fences and he should be a nice chaser. He mightn't like it real heavy but he has a lot of scope and jumps well.

Killarney Fri, 15th Jul, 2022  The Dara Man I thought Ferdia would beat him but Danny gave the winner a super ride. So too did Philip (Donovan, on runner-up Ferdia) and both horses ran blinders. Ferdia is only a six year old and won his maiden hurdle this time last year so is a year behind The Dara Man. The Dara Man had lots of little issues which we appear to have got on top of, and looks a fair horse going forward. He'll run in those novice chases for the summer and will go to Galway. Ferdia is declared for Tipperary on Sunday and could well appear.

Sligo Tue, 17th May, 2022  The Shunter He’s a very versatile horse and is the gift that keeps on giving!

Punchestown Thu, 28th Apr, 2022  Lilith we felt the ground might be a bit quick for her but they do such a good job watering and it was definitely on the easy side. We had no options at home for her so it was this or not run. The gallop they went up front, we could have all fallen in a heap but she ran a cracker. It was all about today, we'll give her a summer break now and see how she progresses over fences next season. She's still on an okay mark, there is a £35,000 race at Hereford in mid-December that we might have a go at. we had a winner here last year, love coming here and we've done well in the handicaps. We had another one beaten a short-head and a neck in a similar race.

Fairyhouse Mon, 18th Apr, 2022  Capilano Bridge That's fabulous. It's not a huge surprise, he's always had plenty of ability and been very consistent,. He lost his way a bit since Cheltenham, we went back to Musselburgh and the vets said he was a bit stressed both times. He doesn't travel. He missed the start one day here and went to Cork and ran a nice race (finished fifth). I said to Charlie today over two-five not to hang about. I mightn't have meant to do what he did, he really took me at my word!. He was second to Capodanno in Punchestown last year over three miles so he stays very well and once he was travelling that well, and had a nice weight, he did the right thing. It's unbelievable to have a winner on Easter Monday and get the horse back on the winning trail. Hugo has been an unbelievable owner for us and he has kept the place going for us.

Fairyhouse Sun, 3rd Apr, 2022  Irregularheartbeat We waited for a bit better ground, she just wasn't handling it all winter. The drop back to two miles suited her too. She has too much respect for her fences and jumps them very big, that's why we dropped back to hurdles today. We'll pick out another handicap for her and see, the handicapper shouldn't be too hard on her there. We'll keep going for a bit as long as the ground isn't firm.

Limerick Sun, 27th Mar, 2022  The Dara Man He is a class jumper and is still a novice chaser until November so will compete in novices. He is an own brother to Mystery Stowaway, a really good mare who I had which was killed. She was extraordinary and this is a lovely horse over a fence. Schooling at home, he would take lengths out of horses.
