After race at Dundalk Fri, 14th Oct, 2022 (1st)  I had this race in mind for him because he is going on to the Sales (October 24). He was badly handicapped and it was hard for him but he is after dropping down the handicap, so that was ideal for him. It is great to see him back tonight and I was delighted with his attitude. we had a lot of horses we had to get handicapped and then we had some nice, backward two-year-olds. The ground was firm during the summer and that didn't work for us. Our owners thankfully had the patience to sit it out and the horses are in good health and running well. M Halford

After race at Leopardstown Thu, 20th Aug, 2020 (1st)  I suppose he had the form and the rating to win it but in those extreme conditions you are never that happy. He coped with it,. Ronan said the race fell apart a bit and he was there plenty soon enough, but he's a decent horse and he's improving, getting better with every run. It's nice to get the maiden out of the way as the year was kicking on. While it wasn't ideal, we thought it was an opportunity for him and we'll step him up in grade now. He stepped up from a mile there and I'm sure he'd go another furlong as well, if he needed to, especially on ground that he would like. We'll see what the handicapper thinks of that. He's a progressive horse, I like him as he has a great mind and I think he'll only get better. M Halford
