Fairyhouse Sat, 4th Apr, 2026  Alliteration I’m delighted to get that with her,. I put the cheekpieces on her because she didn’t jump in Leopardstown. We schooled her in cheekpieces and she was very good. It was a bit of a concern coming back to two miles but it was a good performance. She’s only a little small filly but she has a great heart. I’m delighted to get that for William. He lost his brother-in-law during the week, Eddie Campbell who was a racing man as well. He was a good man and owned racehorses. We’ll see where we go now, William might be keen to try and get some black-type. The way she jumped today she wouldn’t be out of place in a handicap.

Cork Thu, 19th Mar, 2026  Poets Oath It was good, he battled well. He got under the second last a bit and Phillip said he got under the last too. It just made it a bit harder for him and he just got there,. He was just beat the last day and maybe the more galloping course might have helped him. It was longer the last day but it was on the inside track at Punchestown and it’s tight. I took a chance going there with the longer trip.

Down Royal Tue, 17th Mar, 2026  Lizzie Twigg We think she's a good filly. She's a filly that could end up going to Aintree (Grade 2 mares' bumper) now, or one of those black-type race at one of the festivals at home. She won't jump this year, but we think she is a good filly.

Navan Sat, 17th Jan, 2026  The Irish Avatar He is a fine, big, tall horse, quite narrow, light-framed. A big, long stride and I said if I was pulling out of him, I was going too slow. That worked fine. It's only in the last two weeks since we have really done a few sharp bits of work with him, that he has come. He wasn't showing an awful lot early in the season. He is improving with every week now. We hope so (plenty of improvement in him), but I'm really looking forward to him over jumps. I think that is really where he is going to be at his best because he has a big, high-cruising speed and that is his strength I think.
