After race at Kilbeggan Fri, 8th Sep, 2017 (1st)

He was a shade unlucky once or twice. It was great for Niall for his turn to come around again on him,. He owed him one after Punchestown so it was good for both horse and rider. Now he's got his head in front he might get the hang of it. I think we'll keep him on the go. Probably I want to keep him to that trip and even a bit more.
