Naas Wed, 21st Jul, 2021  Take My Hand I thought she fired a warning shot the last day in Leopardstown over seven. We stepped her up to a mile here and she just stayed on. There is a race at Galway that she was second in last year but we were getting a little low in the handicap and I thought we mightn't get into it. He's going to give me 5 or 6lb now and that might just get us in. That's probably where she goes next week. She was just caught on the line there last year and it's been the plan to bring her back. It's nice to see her in good form.

Leopardstown Thu, 15th Jul, 2021  Red Heel I thought she won easily the last day and the owners were anxious enough to come to Leopardstown, they wanted to get a mark as they are breeders. I'd like to go to Gowran Park with her on Saturday week for a fillies’ race but it depends what the handicapper does. It'll be either that or Galway, we'll discuss it with the owners when things cool down a bit.

Bellewstown Fri, 2nd Jul, 2021  Red Heel We had her entered earlier in the year but there was a problem with her vaccinations so we said we’d keep her for here. She should have run a month ago. I thought she was an ideal one to jump and go and I’m delighted for the owner Susan Archdeacon who is a lovely person. She’s only rated 56 so hopefully the handicapper won’t go mad. She’s a big filly but has a lot of quirks attached to her. I have to get Will Hayes to put her in the stalls. She has ability and there are more races to be won if we can keep her in the same frame of mind.
