Curragh Fri, 20th May, 2022  Dame Rapide She was very impressive there, she was good last Friday night and was good tonight again. She's still improving and I don't know where she's going to stop or where she's going to go next. We said we'd come here, we thought we were out of our depth but we weren't. Luke gave her a lovely ride and she's a nice filly to go forward now for the summer. We'll probably have to look for something bigger and see where she lies, probably Group 3 or Listed now. Luke said she'll get two miles so later on in the year we could look at the Cesarewitch, that's if we don't go too high in the handicap. It's nice to get her, it was nice to get a winner last week and again this week. It's good for the yard and for everybody involved.

Curragh Fri, 20th May, 2022  Navagio The hood helped. We had the red hood on him the last day, took it off and when he went into the stalls there was a bit of rattling. Ben said he got upset so we left it on him today. He's a horse we've always liked, he has a big engine and is a good striding horse. In fairness to him he battled well today when the second came to him. Hopefully he can go on and keep progressing because he works better than this rating. Mentally he's probably still a little immature but that should do his confidence the world of good. We think he's well handicapped so we'll look for a handicap next. Seven is good and I think he will get a mile, the last time he just got himself a bit upset. He's a horse I always thought would get a mile but maybe seven again next time.

Naas Sun, 15th May, 2022  Brostaigh Her maidens have worked out pretty well and she had a really good run the last day in Cork. We were going to run in the Lacken but this race cut up and I thought we had a better chance of sneaking third here. She improved a bit more than I thought and probably improved for the drop back to five as well. She's a well-bred filly from a fast family. She'll run away in fillies sprints for the year but that's job done, a stakes winner.

Leopardstown Fri, 13th May, 2022  Dame Rapide She’s a nice filly and I thought coming here today with the wide draw we would definitely be placed.

Gowran Park Wed, 11th May, 2022  Miss Mirabell She was drawn bad and ran green here the first day but I loved the way she finished. She got her head down and really ran to the line. Her work has been good since and she has come on a lot from the run. That was a pretty good performance. Ben said he would have liked a lead but nothing was going on so he made the running and when he gave her a backhander she quickened up well. She’s a big filly and was a bit raw the first day. Her mind is a bit sharper now and she should improve. She’s got scope and is a well-bred filly. We’ll see what the handicapper does. There is a couple of nice fillies handicaps coming up. I think that is a good trip for her and she might get a mile and a quarter later in the year.

Tipperary Thu, 21st Apr, 2022  Lamprog she is a lot stronger this year and has grown up a lot. I left the cheek-pieces off her today and that was more or less her first day without them. The ground was a worry today but she battled well to the line. The handicapper was very fair on her and with any more weight and she would have been beaten. She is a fun filly and is going the right way. She was up two furlongs (from Gowran) on heavier ground but she might even now get 1m2f on good ground. Sean Davis won on her the last day but was suspended and I thought Ben was very good on her.

Dundalk Mon, 21st Feb, 2022  Acquiescent She was a bit keen early on but he was in the right spot and she was tough and did it well in the end.
