After race at Limerick Sun, 29th Dec, 2013 (1st)

He was rated 105 on the flat. The change in tactics seemed to help, he seemed to enjoy it out in front. He had a very good run at Listowel when he didn't jump a hurdle, but then he was very disappointing at Gowran when he stuck his head in the air for some reason. He'll go for a novice now and we might go back on the flat at some stage.
