When Enda Bolger’s Gilgamboa won his first two races over fences, he shaped as a real star of the future, says Pat Keane.

Leopardstown yesterday is easy to describe. There’s never been an afternoon like it at the track, writes Pat Keane.

He may have a fair way to go to be in the Willie Mullins league, but Gordon Elliott is getting there - and quickly writes Pat Keane.

At Leopardstown last Sunday Bishops Road beat Heathfield by a head in a modest handicap chase.

Mullins, what a day he enjoyed at Leopardstown yesterday, was on the mark again when Outlander proved a very impressive winner of the Grade 2 Nathaniel Lacy And Partners Solicitors’ Novice Hurdle, writes Pat Keane.

I was a little surprised at how much negativity there was about after Sprinter Sacre’s return at Ascot last Saturday, says Pat Keane.

If the Supreme Novices’ Hurdle were taking place at Cheltenham tomorrow wouldn’t you sell out on Douvan at 5-2?

When Mckinley landed a Grade 1 novice hurdle at Naas last Sunday, you would have expected connections to be absolutely thrilled, writes Pat Keane,

Fears that Willie Mullins would completely dominate the National Hunt campaign have proved largely unfounded.

It really is silly season in Britain, with all sorts of people calling for horses to be disqualified should the winning jockey transgress the whip rules.
