It was a huge improvement from his first run but obviously he'd had a long time off with injuries. He jumped spectacular there and seemed a lot more settled than he was in his hurdling days. Paul was delighted with him.

Leopardstown Sat, 5th Feb, 2022 (1st)
It went well. He's very slick at his hurdles for a horse that stays well. All the way down the back he was getting a length or two at each hurdle which allowed me to fill him up. Hollow Games moved up coming to the second last but I was happy I would pick up and battle with him. It was a nice surprise to see how easily I got away from him. The two jumps away from the stands were great, he got lengths there but I suppose turning across the top is where the worst of the wind is. I just had a peek between my legs because with that wind you are slightly disorientated as to what is going on around you. I had a few lengths up my sleeve and I was able to ease off the gas there, and I knew I would have more for the business end. It is beautiful ground, credit to Leopardstown. They have done a great job on it. It is perfectly safe jumping ground.

He’s an excellent pedigree by Flemensfirth and out of Askanna who was a good mare for Colin Bowe. I thought it would be easier to do 12st2lb here than 11st2lb down there (Saldier also won well in Listowel). He’s not particularly a summer horse and I think he’ll be very competitive in the winter. He’ll jump hurdles and fences — I don’t know whether I’ll manage to get a winners’ bumper out of him but I’ll ask Willie. He’s above average and it’s good for the owners who had Minella Encore and Mr Adjudicator but have had some bad luck lately.
