I'm delighted to win that as I was mad keen on Squibs,. He travelled well through the ground and has strengthened up over the winter. We'll go for a Guineas trial with him.

After race at
Listowel Tue, 14th Sep, 2010 (1st)
He had a great first run at the Curragh and he loved the step-up in trip. Ours usually come on from their first run and he is still very raw and he has loads of scope.
