Ballinrobe Tue, 26th May, 2026  Jisco Du Brem It's great to get a hurdle win on the board with this lad, he's been a bit frustrating,. He made a bad mistake when he was going well at Cork the last day, and that was game over. They've done a super job with the watering here. I'd rather get beat because of the ground, but still have a horse for the next day. They are National Hunt horses and they don't need quick ground. He'll be suited by going back up to three miles. All of mine are trained that way, behind the bridle and keep on galloping. Alan says he doesn't like going downhill, so we'll have to see where we go with him next. It's great to give Alan his first winner as a professional. He's been coming in to me for a long time. When Michael was at college, Alan would be in schooling the point-to-pointers and when Michael won on them, Alan would tell him .I had them ready for you!.

Leopardstown Mon, 2nd Mar, 2026  El Fabiolo It was a nice performance, hopefully now he’s just coming to himself,. I think he should improve again for a bit of nicer ground as the spring goes on and the final of the series in Punchestown is going to be the big aim for him. We had him qualified already and this race just fitted in nicely.

The final of this series in Punchestown is going to be the big aim for him. We had him qualified already and this race just fitted in nicely. It was a taking performance and it was nice to see him hit the line the way he did. The first day we drew a line through it. We bounced out to make all and he didn’t have the experience under his belt to manage with it, and his jumping was terrible on the day. We’ve ironed that out since. We’ve sat on our hands for as long as we could waiting for nicer ground but it didn’t materialise so we ended up getting him out today and taking a chance.
