You would have to be delighted with him. Robbie gave him a great ride. JP picked the race for him. He's a good consistent horse. He definitely stays further and he loves that fast ground. He jumps great now. Robbie and Conn did schooling with him. Robbie said he was a bit lazy but he got a great run through and did a great job and got a peach of a ride. He'll go jumping fences. He has already been entered in a few novice chases.

Sarah (O'Brien) is starting to ride in bumpers now and that's the reason I have a few horses for bumpers. I'm delighted with that and Kate (Harrington) thought that she wanted to drop him 'in' a bit more after Punchestown (when fourth) while Sarah wanted to be more forward on her horse (Egyptian Warrior, fifth then) but he was very green. Kate gave him a great ride and he travelled well and quickened well. He was just ready to run the first day and just ran a bit green. Joseph (O'Brien, son) and the lads got him ready for Punchestown but were forcing him a little bit to get there as he had to finish in the first four to be qualified to enter for Cheltenham. I think Joseph is able to get special permission to ride him in the Cheltenham Bumper . he inquired about it during the week. Shield is a homebred and by Dylan Thomas, they get better with every year. He is a lovely, good looking and I have a few more bumper horses also ready to run.
