Law Ella off the mark over fences
She was good and I'm delighted with that,. She has plenty size and scope but we didn't get to give her a jump on grass until Tuesday. She had plenty schooling done on the all-weather and was good and quick today. She had blacktype from her Aintree bumper run and I thought she was an obvious one to win her maiden hurdle quickly but it didn't just happen for her although hopefully now she can make into a nicer chaser.
Ardera Ru strikes for Doyle & O'Callaghan
It is grand to get one of our better ones out for the winter as we had a quiet enough summer. She is a grand big mare who jumps away well. Shane said she they very fast early on and I thought she might need the run being her first run back but it was a good performance under top weight. Once she got travelling and jumping, she came home well. We'll mix it away and I think there'll be a nice mares' chase in her off a lighter weight later on.
Elliott's mare readily lands the odds
Star Official gains first success over hurdles
It looked a good opportunity and Danny got a great tune out of him. It was a long time coming for him over hurdles but he had run well in a similar race at Tramore recently and today's race cut up so you had to be reasonably confident. He'll keep going and will try for another handicap hurdle somewhere.
Elliott & Kennedy double up with Beacon Edge
More Info a first winner for trainer Shauna Larkin
That's in-or-around my fifth runner and my first winner. I was very happy with her and she was working well. She deserved to win and I'm delighted for Tim who deserves every success he gets. She carried top weight in that ground and was well entitled to it.
Rothwell's Fool gets Busy in the bumper
That was unbelievable and the owners (Seamus Carthy and Tony Murray, from Ballinasloe) have been so patient. Philip bought him at the sales, we've liked him but is a fine big horse who needed time. The owners were willing to give him that time and it has paid off. He showed a little bit galloping on grass at home and all credit goes to Marie who rides him out at home and has done the majority of work with him. He is only going to improve from today. I'm in Philip's every day, I'm there three years now and he is so good to me.
