Coeur Sublime

Chris Jones

He is in great form. He is heading into his fifth week back in and he is cantering away and doing lots of steady work. Sean Flanagan came in Wednesday and gave him a pop and all is good with him.

Hopefully, it’ll stay that way and while we have schooled him over fences, the plan is that we’ll go down the same route as last year with the aim to have a go at the Champion Hurdle. That is what Chris wants to do and it is great for me to have a horse like him.

For horses like him, his races tend to map themselves out and he is rated 152 and he is a Grade 2 winner already and while it won’t be easy, we’ll try and win a Grade 1 with him.

He is in great form and he is cantering away with Coeur Sublime. Sean gave him a pop the other day and he jumps great – he has been schooling over fences over the last three weeks and we’ll look for a beginners’ chase for him sometime in October. He is a very exciting horse and he has improved and gotten stronger and last season he was still very raw but he has a lot of natural ability and I can’t wait to get him going over fences.

We didn’t want to do too much with him last season and I suppose he is a horse that might not come into his own for another year or two. The dream is alive with him and hopefully we can keep him right and he has the potential to develop into a smart novice chaser

The exciting Cedarwood Road will begin in a beginners’ chase in October

He is 135-rated chaser and he has only ran three times over fences but he has won his beginners’ and I thought, despite the fact that he lacked experience (he only ran twice over fences before) Cheltenham, I thought he ran a cracker over there.

He could be a nice horse when the ground gets soft for those nice chases over two and a half miles.

He has the option of going back over hurdles as well but I would imagine he will remain over fences. He is unexposed over fences and he is a grand horse to have.

The plan is that he will remain over hurdles. He is back in about six to eight weeks and he looks great. I’m very happy with him. He is cantering away and he is in very good form and we’ll look for something suitable for him over hurdles for him.

There is a chance that he could go to Listowel. The ground will decide, and the plan is that he’ll start over fences down there, assuming the ground is suitable.

He wants soft ground, so we’ll see a bit closer to the time and if he missed Listowel, we’ll find a beginners for him shortly after that.

He did very well for us last season and was placed in two Grade 1s and I’d like to think that he’ll develop into a smart staying novice chaser this season. We’ll pick our days for him and make sure the ground is plenty soft enough for him – he is a horse to look forward to. He is back in for the last two months and I’m very happy with him.

He may also go to Listowel. He is still a maiden over hurdles, and he’ll have the option of a maiden hurdle and we’ll also have a look at the good handicap hurdle in Listowel.

The ground will dictate where he’ll go. He need a bit of nice ground and we are thinking of starting him back there. He ran well in some very good races for us last season and was third in the Labrokes Hurdle at Leopardstown.

I’d imagine that he might stay over hurdles and the better the ground, the better for him.

He is in very good form and he is back with me around a month. I haven’t spoken to Frank and JP about plans for the season and we’ll just see how he is and make a plan in a few weeks’ time.

He looks great and has summered really well and he won a Grade B for us last season. It’s great to have a horse like him for the winter and he does handle the soft ground.

Pour Moi - Preach

Patrick Sheanon

He was second for us at Christmas time and at the Dublin Racing Festival but he picked up a little injury which meant that he had to miss Cheltenham which was a shame.

It was nothing serious and he has been back in a while and he is in very good form. The Lartigue at Listowel is the plan – it’s for four-year-olds only and while he’ll more than likely have top-weight, he’ll go there.

We’ll see how that goes but he looked a nice horse last season before he picked up that little knock and you’d like to think that he will do well for us again this season.

Carrigeen Lotus

R H Lalor

She has developed and strengthened up over the summer and the plan is that she’ll start off over hurdles around October time and we’ll see how that goes.

She was a good mare for us last season and she won a bumper at Cork and then and was placed in the Grade 2 mares’ bumper at the Dublin Racing Festival and you’d like to think that she could develop into a nice mare to go jumping with this season.

She handled heavy ground but she doesn’t need it and once there is a cut in the ground, she’ll be fine.

She looks and feels stronger and hopefully, please God, she’ll improve on what she did last season.

He’ll go to Listowel and it’ll be great to have him back. He was making a bit of a noise so we had his palate cauterised a couple of weeks ago and hopefully that will help him.

There is a two-and-a-half-mile conditions chase for him at Listowel and the plan is that he’ll start back there. He has always been a good horse so hopefully that little procedure will help him and we’ll get him back started at Listowel.

She developed into a good servant last season and was second in the good mares’ handicap at the Dublin Racing Festival and Concertista who was third that day, won after that at Cheltenham.

She’ll go back over fences for a mares’ chase at Listowel and we are looking forward to getting her back going again. She was second to a nice filly over fences at Thurles and she has done well over the summer and I’d imagine that she will remain over fences this season.

She had been out for a while but she is back doing plenty and she’ll go back to Listowel for the good handicap hurdle, a race she was second in last year.

She has been a very good servant and won a valuable handicap chase at Cork last year but picked up an injury after that and hasn’t run since last year.

She looks great and we are looking forward to getting her back going again. She can mix it over hurdles and fences.
