Cork Sun, 10th May, 2026  Annie Button she did it well and was good and gutsy from the back of the last. I have to give a big shout to Jordan Gainford who is his ride normally but he got a nasty fall (fracturing a vertebrae) in Punchestown. I’m very friendly with Jordan so he filled me in on how to ride this mare. That’s my first winner for Peter (Flood) who I ride work for when I get a chance, so I’m delighted for him.

Thurles Thu, 5th Mar, 2026  Lough Nigara He is an interesting horse to train, he is a quirky devil and I have to go to the start every day with him,. He has had his issues at the start in the past and Natalie Bradley, who rides him every day and led him up today, does a great job with him. She has transformed him, as he was a very difficult horse when he first came to me. and gets on really well with him. He was much better behaved today and whether the (first-time) blinkers helped, I'm not too sure. It can be a contradiction in him wearing a hood or blinkers, but it seems to work. This is his level, he loves that testing ground and we'll save his chase mark for next season.

Punchestown Wed, 18th Feb, 2026  How's Hannah I think she’s a very good mare. I was keen to use one of my 21 rides on her because I just think she’s very good. We might look at the Grade 3 in Limerick during Cheltenham. Ideally, we would have run her last week in Clonmel, but it got called off. We’re a week closer now so we’ll see. Long-term, I’d be hoping she might be one for the Mares Chase in Cheltenham next year. She’s a fine big mare and I love her. She gallops and jumps. We’ve been very lucky with Tim Townend, when he recommends one you listen.

Limerick Tue, 10th Feb, 2026  Donnrua Dream He deserved it as he is really honest. It took us a while to figure him out and while he never made a noise or anything, we just decided to put a tongue-tie on him, which made an awful difference to his work at home,. We had been stretching him a bit too far in his races but brought him back in trip today and the fact that he handles heavy ground, meant we could go down the inside to save lengths. The four-member syndicate are local and we'll run the horse back quick enough, with the ground being so favourable.
