Fairyhouse Tue, 12th Nov, 2019  From Eden He deserved to win a race. He ran a great race in Galway and has been a consistent horse. He's owned by my head man Simon McGonagle and a bunch of our friends. It's great that he's won. He's a plucky old horse. He's won a couple and we'll have a bit of fun with him.

Navan Sun, 10th Nov, 2019  Andy Dufresne He's a nice horse. He did everything right and Mark said he showed loads of pace. He said you could even bring him back to two miles,. He's in the Royal Bond, obviously I have to talk to Frank (Berry) and all the lads. We thought a lot of him last year, we minded him. He's still not the finished article, he's still a big weak horse. Mark said he showed an awful lot of pace and thought he was actually going too slow the whole way, thought he was hacking. I stepped him out to two-and-a-half because I thought at home he was just a bit lackadaisical, a bit sleepy. That was good and we're very happy.

Navan Sun, 10th Nov, 2019  Abacadabras That's our 100th jumps winner of the season between England and Ireland so it's nice to get it in a graded race,. He's a nice horse. We thought a lot of him in bumpers last year and he ran a bit keen at both Cheltenham and Punchestown. He jumped well there today and Puppy liked him. Jack liked him the last day as well and he's probably another horse that will go to the Royal Bond in Fairyhouse now. Puppy said he was very quick getting away from his hurdles and he was very happy.

Naas Sat, 9th Nov, 2019  Surin Luke gave her a good positive ride. We knew she would stay well, she had a run and she was fit. She’s a good mare and has improved from last year and grown a lot. It was a good performance. She’s a different mare than last year. She is stronger and needed her first couple of runs. I’m not sure where we will go now but she will be aimed at those mares’ hurdle races. She’ll have a few easy weeks now and then we’ll see what happens.

Down Royal Sat, 2nd Nov, 2019  Envoi Allen We think the world of him, we think he could be anything. He showed a lot of pace there today. He wouldn't want to be stepping up in trip too much for the time being. He's very, very good. He was clever, he got in close to one or two but he learned plenty there. I'd imagine we would probably go to Fairyhouse now for the Royal Bond.

Sat, 2nd Nov, 2019  Envoi Allen Delta Work is in great form. It wouldn’t be the end of the world if he got beaten first time out. Look at him last year, he won here and improved all year. There is a good bit of improvement in him, Saturday is not the be all and end all. He is definitely going to build on it. I can’t have him any fitter, but at the same time we want to build on it — if you look at him last year he built up all year.

Down Royal Fri, 1st Nov, 2019  Pencilfulloflead We knew coming up here it was a big day. It could be one of those days where we could have five winners or one winner - thankfully everything worked out great, we had five winners and two seconds. Simon McGonagle, my head man, owns the last horse (Pencilfulloflead) so it is very important for him. He gave a good few quid for him a year and a half ago/two years ago at the Sales. He pulled muscles last year and we didn't get to run him. He's a nice horse. The plan was to come here and go to Cheltenham Sales next week with him. He's a horse I would be fairly keen to keep in the yard, so I'm going to try and get someone to buy him as I think he has a big engine. I was glad the rain came last night, Jamie (Codd) said he would even like softer ground. He's bred to stay. He stayed well and there was five winner in it so it was a good performance. We thought he was very, very smart last year. He pulled a muscle at the wrong time so we just pulled the plug with him. It's great as Simon is probably with me since the second year I started training. He's a big part of the team and he is one of my best friends. We've been hanging around since we were 12 or 13 years of age and it is nice for him to get a winner like that. He's a staying chaser, he's really a horse for next year to go hurdling. Anything else is a bonus with him.

Down Royal Fri, 1st Nov, 2019  Samcro There is (relief) to be honest as we had a long, hard year with him last year,

Down Royal Fri, 1st Nov, 2019  Daylight Katie We got a bit of a fright, . At the third last she stopped to a standstill and she definitely lost three or four lengths. To be fair, if she had winged that she probably wouldn't have come off the bridle - he could have sat on her and filled her. That's jump racing, you have to jump it and she didn't jump it. Thankfully she is okay. She'll go for all those mares' races now.

Down Royal Fri, 1st Nov, 2019  Coeur Sublime He was second in a Triumph Hurdle so he was entitled to do that, . He's a horse that will probably stay further in time. Davy said he is a different horse this year - he looked a different horse, he's a lot stronger. He jumped and he did everything right. They went a fair gallop and I knew he would come on a bit. We will have plenty of fun with him this year.

Down Royal Fri, 1st Nov, 2019  Fury Road A big couple of days for Keith Donoghue and he showed there that if he has the ammunition he is good enough, . He's a great man over a jump and always was. We thought he was a machine in his bumpers but we had to give him an operation. I'd say a trip looks very good for him. He looked comfortable the whole way. He could go for a three miler over Christmas and could drop back to two and a half. He's a good horse.

Clonmel Thu, 31st Oct, 2019  Tintangle She is a good mare but has a lot of quirks. We didn't want to make the running but there was nobody to make the running and you could see jumping off she didn't want to be in front,. She has an engine but she would be better with a lead and hopefully in better races there will be something to make it. In fairness to her she tried to run out but still winged it. It's not the jumping that's the problem it's the in between. I thought she was gone at the last.

Clonmel Thu, 31st Oct, 2019  Ard Abhainn She ran well in a Listed race at Gowran when she looked like she was going to be well beaten but stayed galloping. She is a nice mare and she'll be ok I think. She is honest and there is plenty improvement in her,.

Wexford Mon, 28th Oct, 2019  Champagne Classic He won well and 'Puppy' said he loves that ground,. They went a good gallop and that suited him. I think he's going to go for the Drinmore now after that. He jumped well and did everything well. He had a fitness advantage there on a few of them. Puppy was happy and said he travelled well.

Thurles Thu, 24th Oct, 2019  The Bosses Oscar He is not really a bumper horse and we'll go jumping now and we'll have lots of fun with him. He is owned by the yard sponsor and they have invested in a few nice horses so it's nice to get them a few winners,. He'll run in a maiden hurdle next and he wants further; Jamie said he was going as hard as he could turning in.

Punchestown Wed, 16th Oct, 2019  Fantasio D'alene he’s a nice horse and he could go for another bumper. It was a bit of a messy race and he’s really a staying chaser.

Punchestown Tue, 15th Oct, 2019  Larquebuse She's a nice big mare and in fairness she's probably never had the ground soft enough or a trip far enough,. She's stronger this year. We'll rock on over jumps now, I'd imagine, straight away. She'll win plenty of races and she's a nice mare.

Punchestown Tue, 15th Oct, 2019  Coko Beach We knew he'd come on a good bit from it. They went very quick in front and set it up for him really,. If he rode him again he'd be holding on to him a bit longer, he nearly went to the front then too soon. The horse had a good blow, he's only four and he's a nice horse. He's grown a lot from last year and if you look at him he looks like a big chaser. I don't know where we'll go now with him. He'll win races.
