After race at Thurles Wed, 27th Jan, 2016 (1st) 
He had been a very difficult raw horse but might now pay for that time, and seems to have come on a bit and gained confidence from Limerick. He was the one I fancied coming here today and he'll be a chaser in time. my best season was when I had 25 winners once, back a long time ago.

He loves the ground and stays. The bit of experience helped and Phillip knows the horse and gave him a great ride. Staying is his game and he loves deep ground.
