After race at Ballinrobe Mon, 28th May, 2012 (1st)

Noel Meade done all the training with him so I won't take the kudos for it. I only have him around eight weeks. He ran well the last time at Killarney and he was entitled to come on from that. I would be afraid to run him on ground that's too quick, todays ground was just safe. He is a horse who has had a lot of problems so the main thing is to keep him right.
