King of the Claimers Bal De Rio strikes again

Hazelhatch Lady returns to form with game success

Timourid another winner for in-form Flynn

He jumps well. He’s never the bravest but fiddles away. He won a Premier Handicap two runs ago and it was too quick the last day in the Curragh. He wouldn’t want it any softer than that over jumps. The Flat lads could call that soft. He’s a bit tricky like that with the ground. The lads are from Galway and want to go there but I’m not convinced that he should be going there up that hill. He was there last year and I think it’s a track that he doesn’t love. He likes these flat tracks and he could boss it today. Something more competitive might be hard for him.

Williamstowndancer makes it two from two over flights

She gave us a fright at the second last. She’s related to Nikini and is tough like her which is a great thing in a pedigree. She will go to Galway now for the Listed two-mile novice hurdle and try pick up some more black type. The syndicate are great fun, ex-students from Blackrock, and they are travelling around and getting to see all of Ireland.

Presenting Lad goes one better at Roscommon under O'Sullivan

Steps Match makes stamina count in staying hurdle

Avakate a first winner under rules for Emily Costello

Emily rides out for us when she’s off from college. She ran too free the first day. We thought we rode her wrong, it wasn’t the rider’s fault it was the instructions, so we changed the tactics and Emily gave her a lovely ride.
