After race at Naas Sun, 23rd Feb, 2020 (1st)

Paddy said unless you ask him at the hurdles he’ll just gallop into them. As soon as you ask him he’ll jump them for fun. He said he was doing nothing in front but as soon as the second horse came to him he went on again. He’s improving and if he got into the bottom of the Boodles and the ground was soft I’d be very tempted. They will go very quick which would suit him, and he’ll stay up the hill.

Mrs John Harrington
