After race at Curragh Sat, 1st Jul, 2023 (1st)  It's really very special when Tommy Dowd comes to you in the parade ring and says 'I'm more nervous now than I was on All-Ireland day'. I said 'ah come on, sure we don't have anything to do anymore — it's up to Ben now!'. In fairness to the horse, you have to say he has improved immensely. He picked up a little injury last year and I suppose it stood to him this year. He's been very straightforward this year and the races have come for him at the right time. There was no pace today and I said to Ben to let him roll along. He's a leader, he leads the string at home. I knew when they turned in that they weren't going to get to him because he wouldn't stop. He won over a mile-and-a-half last time. It was a great ride. It's great for a syndicate to rock up on Derby weekend and be competitive in a very competitive Group 3. You can see the enjoyment it gives people, racing has that. J P Murtagh

After race at Curragh Sat, 27th May, 2023 (1st)  The plan was always to come back on Guineas weekend, we had a great time here last year. When he got a rating of 102 this looked like the perfect race although 1m4f was a little unknown. The horse has been training really well at home and showing all the right signs that he had improved. I'm really delighted the way he won today. He can win at 1m2f and now he can get 1m4f so there are plenty of races for him. We went to Ascot last year and the ground was firm, he probably didn't enjoy that. We'll make an entry for him but there are plenty of options. J P Murtagh

After race at Cork Fri, 21st Apr, 2023 (1st)  He ran very well in the Lincoln when he stayed on and was only beaten five lengths (in 15th), but the ground was probably too soft. He came home a bit stiff and sore after Royal Ascot last year and today's slow-side-of-good ground is perfect for him. It was always the plan to come here and Ben gave him a great ride and it worked out beautifully. He had to be brave and we might have to step up to Listed class now but he is a nice horse who is going the right way. J P Murtagh

After race at Curragh Sat, 21st May, 2022 (1st)  he ran very well in Cork on his first run and he had a very good draw today, and was given a very good ride by Shane. There wasn't much between our two at home but this lad probably had a better preparation. He's mentally immature but is toughening up now and being by Kingman I'd say he has loads of class.
