After race at Navan Sun, 16th Dec, 2012 (1st)

He was to run in the Troytown here last month but scoped badly on the Monday before the race so wasn't even entered,.

After race at Down Royal Wed, 3rd Feb, 2010 (1st)

They are two lovely horses. The winner Sole Witness is a proper horse,. He goes on better ground and was second in a bumper on better. He was also fourth over hurdles and was behind Montan then, who won the first today. He will have a rest now and go for a novice hurdle at Perth in early May. The other horse is gorgeous but may be a horse that needs a bit of time. He's young and got a bit tired in the finish. We'll try and win a bumper with him in six or eight weeks time.
