Thurles Thu, 10th Oct, 2019  Run For Mary She deserved that off her handicap mark and getting the mares' allowance, . On ratings she looked to have a big chance and she is a grand one for the staying handicaps next year. She won't go back hurdling as she didn't take to it and I'd say she'll get a break now.

Tipperary Sun, 6th Oct, 2019  Turnpike Trip He looks ok now and we're hoping he will be as it did look nasty (at the final flight). He slipped in the ground and did well to win and was going away again at the line,. It was a good performance and he would have won well, by four or five lengths, only for the mistake. Yielding ground is his ground, not heavy, and we'll tip away in a novice somewhere next. The owners were keen to give Kevin (Brouder, riding without his 5lbs claim) the chance; I said to give him the chance as he got on well with him the last day. He rides him out at home so that means a bit too.

Roscommon Mon, 30th Sep, 2019  The Big Galloper He's a slow galloper but he got there anyway!. He'll go handicapping now. He had shown form on that ground before and we thought he had an each-way chance. It could have gone either way and thank God it worked out. I wouldn't like to be winning by those small margins all the time but anyway he got it done.

Navan Sat, 28th Sep, 2019  Doctor Duffy The horse deserved that as he's fierce consistent,. The galloping track here suited him. The horse doesn't know how to run a bad race. He might go to the first meeting in Cheltenham in October. There is a novice there over two-mile-six. If he doesn't go there he could go to the November meeting, he might as well go before the real good ones come out!. He got his jumping together, it took three or four runs for that to come. He had to keep him off the rail because he's liable to duck out as well. That's why he rode him down the middle between horses. He is what he is, 134, and he's a fierce consistent horse.

Navan Sat, 28th Sep, 2019  Advanced Virgo He's a lovely horse. It probably wasn't the best maiden hurdle. He had a nice run in Wexford and was probably a bit unlucky that day. He had a nice enough comeback run and the form of the race in Killarney had been working out. As regards a maiden hurdle for Navan, it probably wasn't the hottest but he's a nice horse. He'll probably go handicapping now and he'll definitely get further as he got two miles on the Flat.
