Curragh Sun, 24th May, 2026  Pretty Omagh Girl She had a couple of nice runs last year, but is a filly who we just held on to. Ben said she relaxed in front, that she jumped out as nothing was going on and it was a good performance. I was surprised as I thought she would need the run but she jumped well, got a nice position and just kept going. She had lovely runs last year but took a bit of settling and Ben did a good job with her today and knew what he was doing.

Navan Sat, 16th May, 2026  Santa Bravado he ran a nice race first time out and being a big horse, Dundalk then maybe came a bit soon. We should have left him alone that year and he had a nice enough run here first-time out this year. We hoped this was the natural progression putting him into a race like this. He would have got in at bottom-weight, but luckily the weights went up and then Billy got the ride. Billy gave him a lovely ride, he just took his time and produced him at the right time. He was getting every yard of the trip, so it looks like we have options and he handled that bit of ease. We'll see what the handicapper does and he could possibly step up in trip.

Roscommon Mon, 11th May, 2026  Sun Soldier He probably needed the run the first time. He’s a consistent horse and always tends to show up. He had a nice run first time. Credit to them today, it’s beautiful ground, and Billy kept it very straightforward. He did it nicely and it worked out ideal. He had a nice draw and was in a nice position the whole way around.
