Listowel Mon, 1st Jun, 2026  Knockbrack Rambler Vincent O'Connor and his wife Mary are from nearby in Abbeyfeale, so that's why this winner is so popular. Plenty of people seem to have backed him too. He had been running in the heavy ground and we just changed things up today, and jumped out in front. He locked-on for Phillip (Enright) and no better man up on his back. We'll enjoy today and he might get the grass now, as the ground will be getting hard now.

Punchestown Wed, 4th Feb, 2026  Fillyoureye He needs a bit of nicer ground and needs a trip. Looking at him today I think he needs a fence too, but I’ll wait until the new season comes in. We’ll find a nice hurdle race between now and the end of Punchestown (festival). Possibly something in Fairyhouse for him. He didn’t enjoy Mallow. He didn’t take Paul along at all, so we took the hood off him today and I think it made a big difference. He was always very free, but he’s changed now. He’s more mature and is settling in his races, so it makes him easier to ride. It probably wasn’t the highest standard of race either. He’s improving and maybe the ones around him aren’t. I was happy to get that and I think his future might lie over fences.
