After race at Leopardstown Sun, 13th May, 2018 (1st)

He's a grand big horse, genuine and stays well. There is plenty of improvement in him still. Once I got him out and gave him a few cracks he went on about his business. The first two are probably nice stayers, and my lad could be for something like the Queens Vase or even a King Edward.
