After race at
Galway Mon, 7th Sep, 2015 (1st) 
He has always shown us a lot of ability. I'm delighted because he has just been disappointing, and I thought at the Curragh that he got a bad ride. He has been knocking on the door and I'd say it will be bigger handicaps for him from now on, maybe something like the November Handicap later on in the season. The ability is in him, he was placed in a Grade 3 over hurdles, so there is plenty of ability there, but he is just a bit of a head case. We have had him since the spring, around February time. That's his eighth run for us now and he has always been there or thereabouts. I thought he should have been placed the last day, and before that he was third to Order Of St George who is favourite for the St Leger.
