Sure he has only one way of going and that's as hard as he can for as long as he can. It sounds ridiculous because he is still a runaway, but I'd say he's after settling a fraction with old age. He's hardly improving at that age but I'd say he's less stupid.

Sligo Wed, 19th Aug, 2020 (1st)
He's a free-going horse. He has won in the past being held up but he seems to settle very well (in front) for Kevin (Brouder),. I was slightly concerned that the ground had gone a fraction slow. Even though it's still lovely ground the quicker the better for him to get him to last it out.

Sligo Wed, 5th Aug, 2020 (1st)
I got a grand freebie, I got to fill him all the way. He's a very free-going horse. I kind of figured him out straightaway going down to the start. He's one of those free old types. You're probably better off ignoring them, let them run for a hundred yards and they'll come back to you. That's what I found out going down to the start, and that's what I done. It was pretty simple after that.

After race at
Navan Mon, 21st Sep, 2015 (1st)
.He did it nicely. I thought he would have won a race before now. He's always had ability. He showed promise as a two-year-old before last year passed him by. He's a big horse and he needed time,.
