After race at Limerick Fri, 29th Nov, 2019 (1st)

It was well due. We weren't sure about that ground and it was a good enough performance. His owner/breeder John Browne is a brother of Mickey (trainer) and Willie (sales consigner) and it is great to win a race for him. He won on the all-weather for John Butler in England in the past and he could come back here for another hurdle at Christmas time.
