Punchestown Sun, 23rd Nov, 2025  Desertmore House He loves it now. It was his first (cross-country) run here in the La Touche in the spring and he was good (finished second). We had him here the other day just for a pop around and he was looking for the next obstacle. He was just attacking the whole thing, and I thought he’d run a big race today. We’ll probably aim for Cheltenham in the spring and I’d say he’ll love it around there too.

Punchestown Sun, 23rd Nov, 2025  Desertmore House He was showing a nice bit of promise in the spring and we targeted this meeting as Sean and Bernardine (Mulryan) like to have runners here. . It got tight on the inside and I didn’t know whether I’d be saying well done or what are you doing?!

Clonmel Thu, 2nd Oct, 2025  Sallap Willie (Cleary, owner) bred her, so this is job done. She is a tiny little thing, she’s only 15 hands, and I’d say that could have been her day. She had an ok run in Ballinrobe but ran no race the last day in Wexford, so we were clutching at straws today and just rode her to run well. I’d say she enjoyed that ground.
