After race at Downpatrick Sun, 24th Mar, 2019 (1st)  I suppose it was a tight race (today). I was a bit disappointed with him in Naas when he turned in and looked like he had a chance and just sort of got run out of it. That was a competitive race in Naas. Sean was less than confident before it - he thought the track might not suit him and the ground was a bit quick. He handled it quite well in a small field, he jumped well and stays well. He could go to Fairyhouse or Punchestown but he has also schooled well over fences and he may go over fences soon. Noel Meade

After race at Navan Sat, 4th Mar, 2017 (1st)  He was good and maybe better than we thought but we did think he'd win a bumper. He had a few problems with his knees and things like that. I had to sit back here the last day because the other horse of Gordon's ran (Poli Roi). When it came to Friday he (Eddie O'Leary) said 'we have a few more' but I said 'it's my turn'. He said to me 'will you win' and I said 'I think he has a great chance but I can't say he'll definitely win'. So he decided to run the two of them. I'd say he's a nice horse. He won't run over hurdles this season as I'd imagine we'll keep him a novice. He just hasn't been that easy to train and I'd say he wants that really soft ground. Noel Meade
