He's a legend of a horse and a brilliant horse to have,. I didn't really fancy him today as he was drawn 18 of 18 and I thought he might struggle but he's a real warrior. We haven't had the saddle on him much since he ran in Listowel and we've had him out in the paddock to keep him happy. He's in again at Roscommon on Monday and will probably go there if the ground is okay.

He'd lost his form a bit this year. He'd a bit of a problem with his back and we gave him a break. He had a couple of good runs on fast ground but he loves a bit of a dig in it, and I was praying that he would get in today. He's been a brilliant horse for me all through his career. He's won on the Curragh two years on the trot, he's won a Rockingham and three Premier Handicaps. People were saying I should retire him but I knew there was another day in him. I'm thrilled to bits for him and he's one of my favourite horses ever. He's in again at the Curragh on Monday, and is a horse that takes his races well. He'll have a spin on the beach and we might declare him.

My plan was to go for the seven furlong handicap yesterday but when I saw the entries for this I knew the field wasn't going to be too big so I decided to go for it instead. He is not an out and out sprinter but the way the ground is he is getting away with the five. He was rated 51 just six weeks ago and I'm a bit shocked as I didn't think he was as good as this. He is versatile trip wise and he will probably go to Galway now for the big seven furlong handicap. Ian is value for around three or four pounds as he knows him so well.

If the handicapper was right he should have won tonight as he was 6lb well in. Hopefully he won't be too hard on him,. He's just in great form and got a great ride from a terrible draw. He's in at Limerick again on the weekend but has to carry a 5lb penalty on top of his reassessed mark. Maybe he'll go for something at the Curragh on Derby weekend.

Bubbly Bellini is fit and well and he was a bit unlucky at Lingfield where he was placed twice. We'll see what the handicapper does but he may be back here next week over seven furlongs. He can be a tricky ride and Colm was great on him. He's a well-handicapped horse at present (ran here off 52 having been as high as the mid-seventies in the past).
