After race at Leopardstown Sun, 4th Mar, 2012 (1st)

I'm delighted! He'll probably go for a novice hurdle but we'll see what the handicapper does first. The ground suits him, he is by Norwich (the same stallion as Murphy's Champion Chase winner Newmill) and they seem to come into their own at this time of the year!.
