After race at Thurles Sun, 20th Jan, 2019 (1st)  He was never going like a horse that was going to win at any stage of the race and he hung the whole way. I don't know why but there is some little thing annoying him, whatever it is. We thought after Naas we sorted it out because he didn't really travel, but we obviously didn't. I know she (Rachael Blackmore on Cool Saint) might have beat him but he wasn't doing a stroke so who knows. He was idling the whole way and it is very tight today but he won and they all count. We think he is a very nice horse but what I'm going to do with him, I don't know. He is more a chaser than a hurdler and maybe he'd like easier ground too. Noel Meade

After race at Down Royal Fri, 2nd Nov, 2018 (1st)  I was kicking myself for running him in Cork in a winners' bumper - I got greedy, It was my intention when he won his bumper to bring him back here because I bought him off Donnchadh Doyle and he kept saying to me 'don't be running him in bumpers'!. he jumps so well and it's nice to have him as a novice and to go for novice races over a trip. His jumping was electric and I'd say when he ends up jumping fences that will be his real mark. Touch wood at the minute his wind is good, he's a Robin Des Champ and a lot of them aren't. He's a very clear-winded horse and was quite impressive at the end so thrilled. Noel Meade

After race at Tipperary Mon, 8th Oct, 2018 (1st)  He had a stress crack after his second run and that held him up. He was stood in for two months. He then ran a disappointing race at Punchestown but he just wasn't as fit and you'd need to be. He'll go hurdling now. Noel Meade
