“He was the fittest horse in the race there really after what happened to Gordon's (Elliott, Huntin Boots) at the first. I'd say that's the first time I've had the first four home, It was great to do it at my local track." Paul Nolan after his 1-2-3-4 at Wexford

"I thought she might need it. I haven't overworked her, because last season she wasn't the strongest. In fairness to Gerard (Berkery, owner), he sent her back this season looking very strong. We planned to let her take her time, and get a second wind if she needed it." Pat Foley

"He had a lovely run the first day and it looks like he's stepped forward again. We had a bit of a concern about the ground, but he seemed to handle it well. There are a couple of nice novice hurdles coming up for him. The Royal Bond is a possibility next." Henry de Bromhead

Ciaran Murphy : "I'm thrilled with him and he has been some servant. We couldn't believe he was beaten here at the summer festival but he came up against a very well handicapped horse."

He looked a bit raw in the parade ring, and I'd say he's after growing a hand in the last month. We had his dam Tucanae and she was a decent sort of a mare. It was probably a harder race than you'd like for a youngster starting off, so we'll give him a chance." Paul Nolan

Cromwell:"she got a grand ride from the front, they went steady and quickened down over the last couple of hurdles. The experience she had stood to her and the idea had been to draw the inexperience out of the favourite. A nice start to the season."

"He was a big raw horse last year and has strengthened up plenty for his break. Hopefully he'll have a big winter ahead of him. We said he'll need four runs for the Irish National, so that's the first one out of the way!" Ian Donoghue

ConorMcNamara"I was surprised Ross O'Sullivan's horse (Talk In The Park) went forward as he likes to run his horses down late, so I was confident that he'd park halfway up the hill, which he did. It was two-horse race after going three furlongs, with the speed they were going."
