Roscommon Mon, 12th Oct, 2026  Ryefield Dasher I’m just delighted. It’s great when you find races like that. It’s the same over jumps, I just love those novice rated races — those types of races. He’s a horse that is progressing and we really like him. We knew he’d like the ground, we’d been waiting all season for an ease in the ground. In fairness, we had all the advantages, we were getting a stone off the top couple. It really did suit us. He’s such a simple horse. He’s quite versatile trip-wise and we know he gets further, it was two furlongs further the last time he ran here and he just got beat. He goes on the better ground, he’s just better with an ease in it. Nicola gets on great with him and she’s given him confidence from riding him last year as a two-year-old to early this year. I’m very happy for Seamus and Geraldine (Kiernan). They are good supporters of mine and it’s great to get results for the people who have faith in you.

Dundalk Fri, 9th Oct, 2026  In A Hurry Rory did all the work on her and he was very keen on her,. Her last piece of work was very good and I was very happy with her. It was probably just fine-tuning things with her, taking our time and not putting her under pressure. She ran a bit too keen last time, she had a bit too much daylight. We were still learning with her. Rory had her sussed out after riding her once at home and then in Navan. She’s a nice filly, fairly straightforward and I think there is a bit more to come from her yet. I told everyone to back her, I’m not a backing man. My brother (Ivan) sourced her for Alistair (Porter, owner) in Newmarket. I’m chuffed for Alistair, he’s with me a long time. It’s a while since he had a winner, and God, does he let me know about that!. The last few didn’t work out for us, but he’s a happy man now.

Gowran Park Sat, 19th Sep, 2026  Ryefield Dasher He ran a cracker the last day on ground that was a bit on the quick side. I was surprised how well he ran because we had been waiting all season for a bit of soft ground. I was just delighted to see it turn out the way we thought it might when he got the bit of ease in it. He's still very babyish and learning. He'll probably go back in handicaps.

Leopardstown Thu, 6th Aug, 2026  Launch Time I just wasn't happy with him the last day. He was a bit quiet for a week after the race. I thought the first-time visor would work and back a bit in trip. I'm delighted with that. We might squeeze another one out of him. He just had one disappointing run here when the ground was soft. I wasn't sure what happened, he just kind of emptied out. It's great to get a nice win like this.
