Roscommon Mon, 8th Jun, 2026  Soldante He has been consistent in his few runs. The ground was a factor for him and he got it today. It was a valuable 7lb off him there. Kevin started with us from pony camp and has worked his way up. He went to Simon Cavanagh and it’s lovely to be able to give him a winner. I’m very pleased with the horse. He did it lovely, jumped beautifully. He’s been a good servant and I’m very happy to win over fences with him. He’s had some lovely runs. Eoin Walsh was riding but he’s out of action at the moment unfortunately, otherwise he would have been riding him. He’s learned plenty and he jumped professionally today, so I’m very pleased with him.

Roscommon Mon, 8th Jun, 2026  Wild Bill Hickok We bought him to do this job, a four-year-old chaser — that was the idea,. He’s won two now and we’re over the moon with him. A bit of juice in the ground today, I’d say, helped him. It was as quick as he wanted it both times in Wexford but we felt the second time we had to run him for experience. He freshened up since that and we were very happy with him coming today. Obviously we didn’t think we’d beat the favourite, and turn that form around, but we knew with juice in the ground he’d get closer. We’re very happy with that. The idea was always the Grade 3 novice in Galway and he has lots of experience now going there. We’ll let him freshen up and if we’re happy with him that’s where we’ll go.
