From the connections
“That was the plan with The Dara Man. Danny (Mullins) gave him a super ride. He's had a few issues, but we've appeared to get on top of them, and he looks a fair horse going forward. He'll run in novice chases for the rest of the summer. There's probably something in Galway for him - John Ryan, trainer.”
“The Dara Man is a class jumper. He'll still be a novice chaser until November so we'll compete in novices. He'd take lengths out of horses when schooling at home - John Ryan, trainer.”
