After race at Curragh Sat, 4th Jun, 2016 (1st)

It's good to have him back. I wasn't really happy with him to be honest. He has been a bit lazy at home and his work has just been okay,. I hadn't run him in a while and was hoping the track would spark him into life. Ronan said he felt well but not at his best and hopefully this can rejuvenate him. Sometimes with these old horses when you get their heads in front they can go on again. We'll persevere with him. The plan was just to try and get him right. We'll see how he comes out of the race now.
