Lady Bluebird makes all in Down Royal opener

She was actually meant to go to the Sales a week before that (Punchestown) and we kind of eased off on her. She wasn't sold and we said we would run her anyway, she just blew up turning in. They were good horses we were taking on. We knew we had her fit today and it was a weak enough contest, so we thought we would pick up. She's hardy and she probably wants it even softer, she's as tough as you get and clear winded. She is hard on herself at home, but she is tough and jumps for fun. She has been very good to me and I'm delighted. She was brilliant to me and I'd be lost without her - it is hard to get going these days. I'd say he (Hugh Finegan) will probably put her away now, but you wouldn't know with the rain we are having - anything could happen. I'd say when the spark comes out of her a wee bit she will stay further because all she does is gallop. I thought the ground was yielding, she was rattling off it. It is lovely ground.

O'Faolains gets the Glory under Millar

She did it very well, she was nearly one you were afraid was too good a work horse. You'd be afraid she won't put it in.

Intent Approach is a well-backed winner for Byrnes

It didn't look likely for a lot of it, but he got a great jump at the last.

Down Royal double for Ian Donoghue

Dreal Deal off the mark over fences

He enjoyed himself there, you could see the class that he still has from three out to the last.

Millar completes first double on Politicise

He hit the crossbar a few times for me and he had a great run at Leopardstown at Christmas.

Torrens another at the double up north

He's had bits of issues and little bits of problems since Christmas, but I just thought in the last couple of weeks he has come good.
