it's been an awful summer for him - he tested positive for an anti-inflammatory that he didn't get in my yard and it didn't go out of his system for three months and he looked horrendous all summer. We came here because there was no novice hurdle in Ireland for him and he seems to be going the right way. When he learns how to jump he has a big engine and he looks like a horse that will jump a fence. In fact hurdles are nearly too small for him. He is still a big baby in a lot of ways. I can't believe we’ve got him - we paid 16,500gns (in February 2016) for him and he's a fine horse and sound as a bell.

It is still a mystery how he had an anti-inflammatory drug in his system as he never had any cuts or issues. When the test came back positive from Newmarket, they said it would have a seven-day withdrawal period but it took three months and he only tested clear on Wednesday week. It has been a wasted summer but hopefully he is on the right road now and it was grand to get experience in another maiden hurdle. He'll come on a ton from the run and John (Barry) said he took a good blow. He also pulled very hard early on and he is so big, his jumping will improve.

We kept it simple enough. He's a big horse and probably the last day inexperience caught him out as he's a classy Flat horse. That left him spot on. John knows him by now, he said he probably should have given him a kick in the belly the last day. As he's such a big horse he doesn't go from first gear to top gear, it just takes him a minute to get going. He's a good horse now. He's a big baby.
