After race at Clonmel Tue, 9th Mar, 2021 (1st)

He did it the way you'd expect him to do it. He is a decent horse but hasn't helped himself; he is grand at home but when he gets to the track he becomes wired up. Today he was fine and his few races have taken the fizziness out of him and he'll be good from now on. We'll go back chasing now; he doesn't want really deep ground and is a super jumper. It's nice to get the hurdle win out of the way and it's also the first winner for Danny (Durkan, through Dargle Equine Limited).
