After race at Curragh Sun, 21st Aug, 2016 (1st) 
He's a tough hardy horse. He's still green and when he gave him a belt he hit the rail. Hopefully he'll keep progressing and I think he'll stay further so he'll probably step up in trip. Donnacha's horse (Tree Of Knowledge) came forward too and on his next run I'd say he'll be there.
