Punchestown Tue, 26th Apr, 2022  Mighty Potter it's brilliant to win the first two races - I know it's not going to be smooth sailing all week and when Willie gets going it will probably be like a steam train!. I'm very lucky with all the support I have in the yard and being honest, I thought Party Central was my best chance of the day. I was humming and hawing whether I'd run this horse (Mighty Potter) - we walked the track a couple of times and said we'd take our chance. I thought Jack gave him a beautiful ride, he held his position the whole way. The horse is a chaser for the future and we're very happy. He did the splits and was lame for a few days after Cheltenham, nothing seriously wrong with him but he just wasn't right and came home very light. That was great and he'll going chasing next year.

Tramore Sun, 10th Apr, 2022  Hide And Seek Delighted to get that for Diana (Vasicek, owner). She’s a mare we like a lot so it's nice that she’s got her head in front. She's home-bred from a great farm, so this is brilliant. She had been building towards that win. We just backed off her on the real winter ground, and Rachael said she loved that ground. She has lovely scope. She loose-schools really well over the fence, so I’ve been telling Diana she’s going to be better over a fence. We might look at a handicap at the Punchestown Festival.

Downpatrick Sun, 20th Mar, 2022  Andys Flame I love this place. Both Downpatrick and Down Royal are so well supported, it is great to come racing to both tracks. He ran a lovely race in a better race the last day. Better ground probably suited him and he is one for the future. He is still learning, he is a big baby and took a long time to mature even though he had won his point-to-point. Hopefully there is more good days in him. We'll keep him on the go for a little while. He enjoyed the ground and relished the hill. He's a nice horse for the future.

Gowran Park Sat, 12th Mar, 2022  Shadow Rider He loves the ground and I was really pleased how he quickened going to the last even though he had made all the running in testing conditions. We’ll put him up in grade and keep him to the minimum trip if we can.

Thurles Thu, 10th Mar, 2022  Ballyadam Destiny I'm thrilled for (owner) Billy Horgan, who sent me up two horses after Terence (O'Brien, previous trainer) told him a change of scenery might be good for him. It was, as he was a bit roughy there,. I thought I was going to win well but missed the last two jumps. It was probably a blessing because I'd have been in front and I'm not sure if he'd have pulled himself up or not. When I put the stick away he rallied for me. He should have won the last day in Clonmel as he made up ten lengths between all the fences each time, and gave it away again. Sean Flanagan rode him and said if he'd have jumped, he'd have been bang there. I brought him back over hurdles to get him confidence and this is good for the yard. There's a good atmosphere when the horses are winning.

Fairyhouse Sat, 29th Jan, 2022  L'yser these unplaced maidens give a horse like him a good opportunity as this time of the year you are probably coming up against Graded horses in maidens. He’d a couple of nice runs in maidens and the step up in trip has been a help but he’ll need to smarten up his jumping going into handicap company. He missed the first couple and wasn’t great over the last few either but he has a good engine. Given his size we won’t delay him over hurdles too long — we’ll probably go jumping a fence next year.
