After race at Cork Sat, 7th May, 2022 (1st)

He was knocking on the door for the last while and stepping up to three miles was a help. In fairness the owners have been very patient with him and I'm delighted for them and it is nice to win when you are knocking on the door for so long. He won't keep going through the summer, he has been on the go for a while but we might sneak one more run into him.
