After race at Tramore Thu, 17th Aug, 2023 (1st)  That was great. It was probably a bit short for him at Roscommon and he was on the back on a break. He definitely took all of the two-miles to get going here today. He has had a tough campaign and has been placed in a lot of big competitive races, the Betfair Hurdle, the County Hurdle, the Galway Hurdle. He has been in a lot of dogfights and it's great to see that enthusiasm still in him coming up the hill today. That win should put him in a great frame of mind, but where we go from here, I don't know. He has opened up another avenue now and he'll mix it I'm sure. The horses are running well and it's good to see. He needs three runs on the level to get into any of the big flat handicaps coming up and with the entries closing soon we won't rush another run with him. We will get him home and see. There could be a handicap hurdle at Listowel for him. He has loads of options and if we look after him, hopefully he will keep repaying us. It's Maxine's first winner on the track for me. I told her to go out and ride him with loads of confidence and she surely did. Sometimes it's hard to do the simple things right, but she executed it beautifully. Emmet Mullins
