Curragh Sat, 21st May, 2022  Blackbeard we weren't exactly sure that he would get six, Ryan thought the last day that he would and obviously he got it very well. He relaxed very well and quickened very well, that's what you'd really love about him. No Nay Never is usually an influence for speed, which is good, but some of them don't get beyond sprinting distances. Looking at this horse there is every chance that he could. The first day he was very green in Dundalk and then he just won here the next day on his first run on grass and obviously learned a lot from that and came forward. we thought he'd be either a Norfolk or Coventry horse and he can go either way I think, but you'd have to say he's a Coventry type. We ran him today to see and you couldn't say he didn't pass that test.

Naas Sun, 15th May, 2022  Meditate I'm delighted with her. She's very laid back at home so she's a hard filly to get a read on,. Obviously she won very nicely at the Curragh and stepped up in distance there, Wayne was delighted with her today. She's lovely and we're very happy with her. The Sioux Nation filly went a good gallop, she was good at the Curragh and we thought she was going to be a big danger. We were delighted that she was able to pick her up, we weren't sure that would happen and six furlong obviously suited her. We were hoping to come here and if everything went well then have a look at the Albany with her. We think that's what we'll do, obviously we'll talk to the lads but I think that's the route she'll be going.

Curragh Sun, 10th Apr, 2022  Meditate We're delighted with her. She did everything right,. We thought she would have no problem starting at five but Ryan said she got to the line very well. She was straightforward and has a lovely mind. It was first time and she came straight up there.

Dundalk Fri, 8th Apr, 2022  Blackbeard Aidan said he is a fast horse and he has shown plenty at home. Hopefully he'll end up in Ascot and he'll probably go to the Marble Hill on the way. Chris Armstrong, representing
