Clonmel Thu, 4th Mar, 2021  Avellino She’s a grand filly. She won two bumpers, a maiden hurdle and now she has won over fences. Robbie just said the ground is very tacky, very holding but she put in a great round of jumping and he had them well covered three out. She was unlucky, maybe, at Fairyhouse where she rubbed the last. Going forward she’s a nice filly, so once the ground stays safe for her — soft ground — we might look for black type for her.

Punchestown Sun, 17th Jan, 2021  Envoi Allen it’s a bit of an anti climax when the other horse went at the first. Jack said he went around in second gear with his ears pricked. When he asked him to quicken going to the last he did. He got a bit under the last and he quickened again. He didn’t mind the ground and he didn’t do anything wrong. I think he’d be better with a lead as he’s idle but he had to do his own donkey work. He’s in everything at Leopardstown for fear something happened (with travelling) in Cheltenham but I’d say we will go straight to Cheltenham.
