After race at Punchestown Tue, 13th Sep, 2022 (1st)  It's not too often I stand in the number one spot at Punchestown!. Declan (McDonogh) gave him a great ride. The horse came out of the Gowran race well. He needed every yard of that, so we were fairly confident of getting the mile. He had won over six at Sligo. Things worked out well, Declan got a nice possy, travelled around really well and got there and actually won quite snug enough in the end. It all went to plan, I just left it to him. That's the way he decided to ride him and it worked out well. We have options now, he can certainly get the mile and can handle most ground but he doesn't want it really heavy. He got caught out in Galway on really heavy ground. I think he would handle Dundalk but there are a couple of months left in the season yet and hopefully that could get him into some nice handicaps.

After race at Sligo Tue, 21st Jun, 2022 (1st)  We ran him back quickly after his maiden win here and it didn’t work out, and then we decided we’d geld him. I wasn’t quite sure if he’d be fit enough. He’s only back cantering two or three weeks and this was a race I only spotted at the last moment. Conditions suited us and he has won here before, so it all worked out well. He seemed to miss the break but he came home well and when he got to the front he just did enough. It should bring him forward as well and hopefully there’s a bit more to come. A Oliver

After race at Sligo Sun, 1st May, 2022 (1st)  he’s well-bred so we expected a bit from him. I trained his half-brother Shatharaat who I bought cheaply off Mark Johnston and he won well on his first start for me, but had issues afterwards and they caught up with him. Another half-sister of his won a Group 3. he showed us a little bit last year, we haven’t done an awful lot with him this year and he’s improved from his first run. I like the way he fully got the trip (six furlongs) and it looked like he needed every yard of it. He has the toe for six and stays further so it gives us plenty of options. We were quite hopeful today but it’s easy to say that after the race!. Part of the reason we’re lucky here is that we train on a right-handed track going up a hill so our horses tend have a natural advantage. A Oliver
