After race at Curragh Sat, 1st Sep, 2018 (1st) 
it was a good performance. He was off a while because we just couldn't run him on the firm ground and this was a lovely race. He's in two nice races coming up; he has the big sprint at the Curragh or could also run at Ayr. If the ground is too fast here we'll probably go to Ayr but I'd say the ground is going to be lovely for him from now on. We just had such a dry summer and we minded him as he's still a big baby.

Shane said he was a little bit lonely on his own and he thought he was on the wrong side,. He got racing a bit early and pinched a couple of lengths on them. We think he's a nice horse. He was working very well last year. His mark of 89 looked stiff but Shane said he'd be competitive off 89 on his work during the week. He has stepped on in his work. We'll see what the handicapper does. He's on his way to being a nice horse. He has the strength, he's big and he's physical. We've a few nice sprinters at home, the likes of Golden Spell, and they are all going well together. We have a good line on them now. I'm hopeful that he will step up into to group class later in the year. I'd love to get another go in a handicap so hopefully the handicapper is not as hard on him this time as he was the last time. Fitzwilliam Racing are absolutely flying. This is a Fitzwilliam one, Fitzwilliam two have all the two-year-olds. It's a lot of the same people rolling over again, we just need a two-year-old to win now.
