I'm delighted for him and for the owners,. We bought him out of the horses in training sale and on his first run he was second to Mr Adjudicator at Leopardstown. We started dreaming about him. He had a few good runs in his first season and then lost his way. He suffered a bad injury here last year, he got a very bad cut, and he lost confidence and everything. He seems to be coming back right. It wasn't the strongest of maiden hurdles. He'll tip away and we'll find something for him. I think a fast run two miles suits him because he can get passing horses. In fairness to Kevin, we were trying to stretch him out in trip before to get him to enjoy it, but when he rode him first time he said to shorten him back up. It's worked today and fingers crossed he goes on. Kevin is riding great. He's knuckled down, he's tipping away and doing everything grand. He has struck up a great partnership with Peregrine Run. He is a good rider and I don't think anyone could knock him about his riding. I think that was his 100th yesterday on Peregrine Run. He's in the yard every morning and he deserves the opportunities he's getting at the moment. Peter Fahey, trainer
