After race at Listowel Mon, 23rd Sep, 2024 (1st)

I had been placed on him in the Listed race here in 2022 and, whatever it is, he does tend to run well at this time of year. I was a bit worried with 'good' being in the going description but riding on it, I definitely thought it was on the slower side. I was happy to follow Complete Fiction going three-deep on the fresher ground and while I had planned to challenge down the middle, the loose horse ran off the bend and pushed us wider than we'd have liked. I had enough in hand to get the job done though.

Adrian McGuinness

After race at Punchestown Tue, 14th Sep, 2021 (1st)

He has really turned inside out. He had loads of problems before we bought him and he has gotten stronger and really filled out. I had a meal with the Dooley brothers yesterday and we said if he won this we might go for the Balmoral Handicap at Ascot on Champions Day so that will probably be the target now. We don't work him at home because he's a hard ride and very keen, it's all about settling him.
