After race at Curragh Mon, 6th May, 2019 (1st) 
We tried a hood on him the last day and he kind of fell asleep with it so we rode him more at home with it just to take the fizz out of him. It seems to have worked for him today. The ease in the ground helped and I think the straight track helped as well because he just gets a bit keen when he's tight upsides. We always thought a lot of him. His mark has dropped down but it was more his head that was the problem as he was running too free and not using himself properly in his races. We had to work a lot on that at home. He has ability and if he could just settle and do his job he would be a great horse.

He ran well in a Claiming maiden at Bellewstown on his first run (when second) and ran green and jumped the road. I've always thought a lot of him but I was worried about the ground today. I'll look for a big handicap with him next.
