After race at
Fairyhouse Mon, 18th Apr, 2022 (1st) 
I was probably in front a bit too soon but I didn't want to take him back. He has been a great horse for me; that two Grade 2's we have won now. He's a great horse, he turns up every day and runs his race. That's all you can ask for,. He's a little bit short of Grade One level but all you can ask for is that they do their best and he's a joy to have around. Luke gave him a great ride, he has a great rapport with the horse. You can go two miles, three miles in a chase or hurdle and you kind of know what you are going to get with him. It's very unusual for a horse to be like that. Probably somewhere in the middle is his optimal but if there is a suitable race you can let him take his chance. I'm delighted for JP and Frank (Berry) and everyone to have a winner here this weekend, it's great. I'm not sure what's in Punchestown for him, we put him in the Champion Hurdle and he might sneak around there and see what happens. We'll see how he comes out of today, this race was the target.

He is funny because he always seemed to love heavier ground but recently hasn't finished out his races and maybe that better ground suited. Mark said he rode him handier and more positively and he did it well. We tried him over three miles on heavy ground and probably didn't see it out. Maybe a couple of the others underperformed, the likes of Darver Star but it is nice to get his head in front again.

After race at
Gowran Park Sat, 16th Feb, 2019 (1st)
He ran well enough here the last day in a good race (when fifth in the Galmoy Hurdle) but I'd say coming back in trip was a help to him and he likes soft ground,. Barry gave him a good ride, he kept him in the race without forcing him too much. I guess we'll stick to these kind of graded races as he's too high really for handicaps. He could have a shot at a Grade One later in the year. These are probably the races for him and we'll be sticking to soft ground as much as we can with him.
