Kilbeggan Fri, 16th Jul, 2021  Princely Conn I didn't know (if he was up) as I watched it head on but I got plenty of texts saying well done so I knew then,. He's an old horse with ability. He lost his way over fences a bit and we were just giving him a run back over hurdles to see if he would take an interest and he did. Jack was great on him again. He didn't give up on him and he jumped really well for him after jumping the first couple big. He was a good hurdler in his day, he was third in the Galway Hurdle for Rachael Blackmore. Jack's claim was a big help, the 7lb made the difference with him getting up a short-head.

Kilbeggan Fri, 16th Jul, 2021  Canford Light I tried the Flat with him but he just rejected it on his last run in Gowran. We put him over hurdles and he took to it like a duck to water in Punchestown where he was second,. That was a great run and we just bided our time to make sure he was right for the next day and this was the next day. He jumped very well today, improved in his jumping. He could go to Galway but he's also in the sales at Doncaster. He's a good four-year-old horse, a summer type of horse but he could run away up until Christmas. I might give him a try back on the Flat if I see a race that suits him. He had issues as a two and three-year-old but we fixed them. Jack was very tactically aware on him there. He's not really a 7lb claimer anymore, he really rode well today and used his head. He let the boys at it and came at them on the last bend.

Leopardstown Thu, 15th Jul, 2021  Red Linn He was working well at home with a filly that was placed here a few weeks back. I was hoping but with a two-year-old first time out they can do anything. I thought he'd maybe win the next day and it's a nice surprise. He's a good solid colt, he's plain and simple. He wanted every yard of the seven furlongs and he'll definitely get a mile. He's a nice tough horse.

Tipperary Thu, 1st Jul, 2021  Tucson Train having the bit of room on the outside helps as he was tight turning for home at Punchestown and cowered out of it. He is a big horse who likes a bit of room. Flat tracks like this probably don't bring out the best in him but hopefully later in the month there might be a novice hurdle with a stiffer finish that could suit him.
