Curragh Wed, 5th Jun, 2024  Tunbridge Wells We're delighted with him, he's a baby still. He'll go into the Ascot picture and if he doesn't go there he'll come back here for the Railway,. He'll have no problem staying further in time but he's green and babyish still.

Listowel Sun, 2nd Jun, 2024  The Liffey it was lovely to win this race run in memory of Pat Smullen, who was an unbelievable rider and unbelievable person. Aidan saw this race on the calendar and targeted The Liffey at it. It is a lovely memento to win a race run in Pat's memory. it was a good weekend and this horse won nicely on his only run at two (years old) last year. I think the heavy ground at Leopardstown last month caught him out. His ideal trip is between seven furlongs and a mile on quick ground and this race fit in nicely for him and was a nice confidence booster. He might now step back up into stakes company.

Listowel Sun, 2nd Jun, 2024  American Bar I wanted to go to the Curragh last week but didn't feel we were ready to start racing and that race came a bit soon for her. I was a bit nervous coming here with a debutante but the next fillies' maiden was here. When you miss the break here it is usually game over but she was able to overcome it. We haven't done loads with her but she has trained well all spring and I felt she was nice. She has learned a lot this week, jumped out of the stalls three times and I hope with that under her belt she is a good filly to go forwards. She is in the Airlie Stud Stakes on Derby weekend and I was hoping she'd do something like this today, with a view to going there.

Tipperary Tue, 28th May, 2024  Truly Enchanting Ryan was delighted with her. He said that she’d have no problem getting six and might even get seven and said she handled the ground well. She was green early but Ryan said they didn’t go mad early, so it gave her a chance to get it together first time. He was very happy with her, so that’s great. We’ll see how much she comes on. She was away before she came, but she’s a little bit laidback at home so she could come on plenty, so I’d say the Albany is a possibility.

Limerick Thu, 16th May, 2024  Sara Valentina she won nicely, is a beautifully bred filly and is from a family we know extremely well. She had a reasonable run in Leopardstown and put that experience to good use today. She was well beaten - finishing ninth, on her debut so was entitled to get into this race but equally this is a family which improves with age. hopefully she can progress through the year and we'll look for a conditions race for her somewhere in a few weeks' time. I think she'd like better ground although the ground isn't as bad as we thought it would be. Stiffer tests will await.

Cork Fri, 10th May, 2024  Cherry Blossom She had a high rating, had good runs at two and with today's conditions, and the track, everything worked out. She is a very quick filly, wants quick ground and five (furlongs). It is great to get the Listed win and with the sprint programme in Ireland being tricky , she might have to travel for Group 3s for fillies. It's onwards and upwards and that will be a nice confidence booster for her.

Leopardstown Sun, 7th Apr, 2024  Battle Cry We saw what happed him in Doncaster (got upset in the stalls and was withdrawn) last year. He just panicked but never did it before or after. Ryan gave him a very good ride. He’d prefer better ground and looks like he’ll get a mile. It’s tough out there and you have to get home there today. He could be a horse for the French or the Irish Guineas.
