Tipperary Sun, 3rd Oct, 2021  Brides Hill She was third reserve in the Lartigue (at Listowel) and I was gutted she didn’t get in. Looking at the way she did that today she might have been a player in it. She’s only a four-year-old and whether she’s able for real winter ground I’m not sure, but she’ll certainly handle a bit more ease than there is there today. It was too quick for her the last day.

Tramore Thu, 12th Aug, 2021  Brides Hill She did it the hard way, around a tricky track. She was unlucky in Ballinrobe and probably should have won there. She was second again at Galway on her last start. It was good to come back here, getting the mares allowance in four-year-old company. She might go to Ballinrobe now (August 23rd) for a decent pot or she could get in at the bottom of the weights for the Lartigue at Listowel. Feidhlim Cunningham, representing

Galway Sat, 31st Jul, 2021  Dedillon We probably rode her too far back in Gowran the last day,. She shouldn't have been 20/1 today though. She has form with the two favourites all year and was probably better off at the weights today. It's grand to have a winner in Galway. She's a great filly to have. She was running for the 20th time when winning in Dundalk but that's her third win now. We'll step her up in class now off a light weight and see how we get on there.

Leopardstown Thu, 15th Jul, 2021  Red Heel I thought she won easily the last day and the owners were anxious enough to come to Leopardstown, they wanted to get a mark as they are breeders. I'd like to go to Gowran Park with her on Saturday week for a fillies’ race but it depends what the handicapper does. It'll be either that or Galway, we'll discuss it with the owners when things cool down a bit.

Sligo Sun, 11th Jul, 2021  Go Gill Go It wasn’t that much of a surprise. We fancied her because she ran very well in Wexford the other day. We picked the wrong race for her there - 2m5f was too far for her and we brought her back to 2m1f today. In Wexford at today’s distance she was cruising but she didn’t see out the trip. She handled the ease in the ground but we were hoping it wouldn’t get too soft because she’ll go on better ground as well. She’s the only one I have in training at the moment. We’ll try and find a handicap for her and hopefully he (the handicapper) won’t give her too much for that. It was a very ordinary race.

Tramore Sun, 4th Jul, 2021  Ferdia I really like this horse. I brought him to Ballinrobe first time out and he was as green as grass. I didn't think it would be possible for him to win but he did. Philip wasn't over hard on him the last day behind Barry Connell's horse but the next time he meets him it'll be a different ball game. This trip is totally too short for him. He is a two-and-a-half to two-mile-six horse. His work at home is real classy. The dam is a half-sister to a good horse Paul Nicholls had (El Bandit).

Bellewstown Fri, 2nd Jul, 2021  Red Heel We had her entered earlier in the year but there was a problem with her vaccinations so we said we’d keep her for here. She should have run a month ago. I thought she was an ideal one to jump and go and I’m delighted for the owner Susan Archdeacon who is a lovely person. She’s only rated 56 so hopefully the handicapper won’t go mad. She’s a big filly but has a lot of quirks attached to her. I have to get Will Hayes to put her in the stalls. She has ability and there are more races to be won if we can keep her in the same frame of mind.
