Shipyard one for the layers in Navan opener

He wants a bit further than that but there just hasn't been suitable opportunities to run him. I think he's versatile enough trip wise and he's certainly not short of speed.

Coakley gets Lily humming at Navan

She didn't really enjoy Dundalk . she found it a bit quick . she appreciated the little ease in the ground today. Ross gave her a good ride and she finished out the race well. She may turn out again at Cork now in about ten days. I think six furlongs suits her better than five now but you really need to stay six to win here,.

Joseph equals the record

J P O'B now top of the pile

Oxx/Aga & Declan Mc on the mark at Navan

He's a promising horse and he wasn't completely wound up. We weren't sure if he'd handle the ground. He handled it but I'd say he'd be much better on better ground.

112/1 treble for Joseph O'Brien at Navan

I thought he'd need the run today (his first in almost a year) but he broke well, travelled well though in the end Joseph felt that he got there a bit sooner than he wanted. We've always thought a lot of him . he's a nice horse with a big future. We decided to give him a good long break and hopefully he can go now for some graded races over hurdles as well as running on the flat.

Two at Navan for Oliver at 47/1

He's a big improving horse though I was a bit afraid that it mightn't be far enough (1m 2f) as he wants a trip. However, this is a great galloping track here and Chris gave him a good ride . keeping him in touch.

Tonabrocky has his heart in the right place

He handled the conditions well and he's a tough, game horse. He battled really well and he should make a nice three-year-old hurdler for someone.
