We need two things for him: we need ground and going left-handed. There is a race for him in Navan before the winter comes. Santa is not bringing new toys so I have to keep going with what I have!

He likes going left-handed so that's why we come here a good bit. It's hard enough to get races at this grade at left-handed tracks. He won at Tipperary before too. We tried going right-handed but it just hasn't paid off, so we will try to stick to the left-handed tracks. He has a low mark over hurdles and we had a choice to go for a hurdle or a chase today but we went with the chase. He might go back over hurdles at some stage.

It took him four years to win and he won too well! . He has bits of form back a bit, especially left-handed, so if you can get him in left-handed it suits him.
