he was a horse that had a lot of troubles all his life. I didn't think he travelled well the last day in Sligo but then it was soft ground and I put it down to that, or maybe he is getting a bit cute. It was probably a moderate enough race and and hopefully he will improve another little bit and he might jump a fence later on. We said we'd come here and see how he goes in a maiden hurdle. He's handicapped but he's on the high side. It was a handicap he ran in in Sligo so I said maybe 2m5f might suit him better in a maiden hurdle. Oliver McKiernan, trainer
