After race at Ballinrobe Mon, 18th Jul, 2016 (1st)

He toughed it out well. It was probably a big ask running three times in seven days but I felt he was in good form and I couldn’t see any reason not to run him. He could go to Galway, it depends how he comes out of this, and it looks more of an option now. I’d like to have a runner.
