that's a lovely re-introduction. We had hoped to go for the Irish National last year but he banged a joint the week before and needed time off after that, so he's late reappearing. He's handicapped to win a big race and the Irish National will be the aim again. We were interested to see where he was at and we'll see how he is in the morning but the leg seems fine. There is room for another run in between and he could go to Naas for the Leinster National. He might be one that runs best fresh. J T R Dreaper, trainer
