Listowel Sun, 2nd Jun, 2024  Sign From Above He is a real family horse, runs in Ber's colours and Kate (daughter) rides him out so it is great,. He'll mix away between flat and hurdles and last year he ran two races in Galway so we'll work back from that now. Dylan said he appreciated the step up in distance on that quicker ground although when he won at Galway last year, it was soft enough towards the end of the week so I don't think he is ground-dependent. He is a lovely horse who will continue to pay his way and Dylan is riding brilliantly.

Curragh Sun, 26th May, 2024  Hanalia She ran really well in Gowran and I was worried about the ground but Ben said the Gowran ground was a lot worse than today. She got through it well. She’s not a slow filly. He said they didn’t go quick and he loved the way she travelled into the race. She quickened up and hit the line well. It’s a good trip for her and I wouldn’t be sticking her up to a mile and a half yet. The Oaks Trial at Naas could be a possibility for her.

Gowran Park Wed, 24th Apr, 2024  Sea The Polaris He’s probably more comfortable at that seven or a mile. I thought being a Sea The Stars that we should step him up in trip and it looks like that was the wrong thing to do. His mother was quite quick and was a Stakes winning Siyouni filly over five and a half and it looks like he has that sort of pace. I’d say he’s adaptable enough ground wise as it was heavy in Galway (on debut last year) and he ran on the all-weather the last day. He has a rating, and we’ll see what the handicapper does.

Limerick Sun, 24th Mar, 2024  Zeeband he'll be a grand horse for the summer, he will jump a fence at some time but today is a lovely day to win because Paul Carty - who owns half of the horse with Natalie (Gilligan), his mother is quite ill in hospital. It is a great boost for them and hopefully she will get a kick out of it as well. Jack gave him a lovely ride as we planned to poke Henry's horse (front-running Champagne Mahler) along and I did think we'd reverse Gowran form with him. He is only getting the hang of things over hurdles now and hopefully will stay progressing.

Leopardstown Sun, 3rd Mar, 2024  Zeeband He’d a couple of good runs in handicaps and I shouldn’t have run him the last day as it came too soon after his previous run. He’ll go back into handicaps and is a fun horse. The owner, Paul Carty, has a painting business in Boston.

Navan Sat, 2nd Mar, 2024  Charming Star He keeps a lot to himself, a lot of time he just does what he needs to. I'd say there is plenty of engine there. We'll probably go back to the Flat with him. Hopefully we can tip away in the better handicaps over a mile-and-six or two miles. He stays well. He'll probably come back here for a Flat race in April, at the minute that's the plan. I got a few lads to buy him back because I thought we'd have plenty of fun with him during the summer. He ran very well here on yielding ground on his first run, over a mile-and-a-quarter, and he travelled well. I don't think he has to have heavy ground but on nicer ground you'd want to be going a trip.
