Bellewstown Wed, 26th Aug, 2026  Elusive Ogie He's had a frustrating season - he looked like he was going to win in Killarney in May and unseated. He looked like he was going to go well in Killarney and made a hames of the same hurdle (July) again. Delighted for the owner that he's after getting a little bit back out of the season. Denis (Enright) has been very patient, he's a lovely man to train for and I'm delighted that he's won for him. He's (King) just so cool. It was never happening and he was never panicking - delighted for Dan, he gave him a peach of a ride. He'll definitely go to Listowel, I'd imagine. He has options - there's two and a half miles, and three miles. I think Galway (over an extended three-miles) the ground turned up too soft on the day.

Sligo Wed, 19th Aug, 2026  Belladaball She was very impressive and is a nice prospect. When we looked at the race beforehand, we thought it looked like a winning opportunity for her. She was going well when she came down at Cork, and no better man than Keith to get her jumping today and get some confidence back in her. She's a Listed bumper winner, so you'd be hoping that she'd well up to winning a maiden hurdle, and she's done it nicely. Keith mentioned the Grade 3 mares' novice at Down Royal in late October, so that's a possible target. Brian Walsh, who's one of the (Galloping Gallivanters) syndicate, bred her as well, so that makes it even better.

Roscommon Tue, 4th Aug, 2026  Clay Pigeons He needs good ground so the better ground helped him. Brian gave him a great ride and he definitely jumped much better today and was a lot sharper. Fakenham was probably the wrong track for him, and the wrong ground. I think there is plenty of improvement in him, maybe up in trip. He’ll go jumping fences next year. Maybe Listowel over further might suit him. He’s won two bumpers, a point-to-point, and a maiden hurdle so he’s a fair horse.
