    I agree, Airlie was not especially well handicapped. Being in foal might have been significant in helping her run so well.

    Roddy, your horses are certainly rolling and mauling at the moment. I hope the run continues.

    Madurai declared in the 3 miler at Galway tomorrow. Also a declared reserve in the 2m6f handicap today and 3 have come out so we may well run. The trip should suit but the going may not.

    To be honest Giggsy he should hack-up off this mark but he just doesn't know how to win on the flat. This race was chosen to keep him ticking over as nothing suitable over jumps at the moment. However, I will back him just in case.

    Well done Roddy. The handicapper may well give you enough to get in if it were next week. He has beat two 3yo giving them the allowance and the old stick Grumeti was 20odd lengths away in 4th.

    Seems like Airlie may be able to get in another run before her 120 days are up. Be interesting to see what mark the handicapper gives her.

    Already in hand, Trudi. Shanning, a 4yo filly by Spanish Moon, has her first run for us in the first at Sligo tomorrow.

    Only one horse has got in over the last few tears off the same mark which has to be a concern.

    A good win no matter where could cement his participation.........I wish them well
