Sun, 15th Nov, 2009  He's a good horse, he's not overly big but he's really tough. We might go for the Cheltenham Bumper, we'll school him first and see how he jumps. I won't ask him to carry a penalty in a winner's race. He seems to like that sort of ground. He just wasn't ready the last day he ran at Fairyhouse and I was raging with myself. Anthony Mullins

After race at Punchestown Sun, 15th Nov, 2009 (1st)  His jumping kept him right in the race. He seems to be an excellent jumper. He idled a bit in front today. From what he shows at home, there's a lot more to come but he has to prove that in public now. He will probably go to Leopardstown at Christmas next. He's improved from Wexford but to be at the top level he'll have to improve again but I think he might. His pedigree suggests he's a two miler but they all say he's a stayer. Anthony Mullins

After race at Wexford Sun, 25th Oct, 2009 (1st)  Aranleigh is sure a big, raw horse he was given a year off to develop . he didn't suffer an injury. We'll try to build on this now and head for a winners' of one chase. Anthony Mullins
