After race at Down Royal Tue, 28th Jan, 2020 (1st)  He got knocked into at halfway and unbalanced and he (Conor Maxwell) took time to get him going again. He liked the way he toughed it out though,. He said for a horse who wasn't enjoying himself and things weren't going right for he toughed it out well. He said they went a good gallop and it rode a good race. Onwards and upwards. I did say myself he would appreciate a bit of nicer ground when he won here on St Stephen's Day. He'll get further. I just thought at the back of the last he will stay at it and stay at it. He's tough, the more you dig into him the more he finds for you. He's in a few races at Cheltenham and the lads (owners, Slattery Bloodstock Limited) would love to go - we'll see how he comes out of this and we will assess it then sure. We might step him up in trip to three miles. Dermot Anthony McLoughlin

After race at Down Royal Thu, 26th Dec, 2019 (1st)  He's improving from every run and getting a bit stronger which you like to see. Conor just said he was always happy with him on the bridle. They went a nice gallop today and at the top of the hill he was happy. I'd say he would probably want nicer ground, he's a big galloper. He wants further and he's a nice horse.
