Knockrea claims Clonmel opener

He always found something to beat him last year and was then out for a while but had the form in the race, if he put it together,. I tried to sneak a point-to-point win with him (recently) when he wasn't fit but it didn't work out. He'll go for a handicap hurdle at Punchestown next.

Jo Go springs shock

Burke steps in for winning ride on Deano

It's a pity for Mikey Fogarty and I hope his injury isn't too serious but Jonathan gave him a great ride and he jumped great,. I'm not too sure where he'll run next but if the ground gets too quick, he'll be left off. We'll look for a winners' of one over the next few weeks but a lot will depend on the weather.

.I'm delighted for the horse as he had a race at Cheltenham and it's always a worry running three weeks later,.

Mallards takes Flight under Carberry

We ran her in a Grade 2 at Limerick hoping to get black-type but she unseated when she may have finished third,. For a mare, she is as genuine as they come and, if she comes out of this ok, will run at Fairyhouse over 2m6f on Monday.

Myska impressive on debut

She's good and has been showing everything at home and is no slouch,. She has a good pedigree and has a lovely bit of size and scope. She'll improve for that and will run next at Punchestown in the Mares' Bumper
