Thanks everyone. We ran into a good one, best of luck to the winner. I'd be hopeful that our girl will build on this and pick up a race or two.

That's a nice start Art. Good luck to you and the guys as the season unfolds.
Winner looks very good Art - good run from your girl tbh!
Remembered Joy takes her chance at Naas 6.35 tomorrow.
12 furlongs will suit so has an ew squeak as she is in good form.

"And still they gazed and still the wonder grew. That one small head could carry all he knew.
And that small head knew that Impaire Et Passe would win the Champion Hurdle."
We can gloat in the style of a Norwegian football commentator if she wins, Colm
Best of luck.
The older I get the better I was.
Apparently she was in season, she was never going well.
Well done with Play The Ace Roddy
Bugger how did I miss Place the Ace running
Rolling Maul is in the 4.30 this afternoon, and all 3 of Sean's rides seem to have money for them, 2 of them halving in price
i see Bay Of Freedom returns to avenge his Kerry National defeat of last year.
Very best of luck to pdleech; we shall be there to cheer you on !
Eileen O makes her debut tomorrow. Well related, we are hoping she can run as well as she works.

Good luck, Archie.
Ah! but a man's reach should exceed his grasp......

Best of luck, Paul, I won't be there but I will be cheering.
And best of luck to you too, archie. She's a late starter, especially by Willie's standards, hopefully she'll be making up for lost time.

Thanks Eddie - look forward to seeing you. My in-laws are interrupting their Ireland tour to watch him for the first time; Bay of Freedom has coincidentally decided to wear blinkers. Ear plugs might have been a better option! He looks a million dollars but it's what's going on inside his head that will make the difference. Pleased to have Johnny Burke on board and, at his best, he would have half a chance.
Thanks to you as well Art. I will post a blog later - you have been warned!

Thanks all. Byrnes' horse is useful but in Willie we trust.
I was rather hoping that she would go on Friday in the mares bumper and will be on course on Thursday (for Shanning) and Friday. Fortunately, I will be ensconced in Limerick in good time to see Eileen.
Happy to buy a drink for anyone who is about.

Have really enjoyed your pieces on this fella. The best of luck for tomorrow and let's hope he can bounce back to something like his best.
Man who catch fly with chopstick .... accomplish anything.
