After race at Naas Sun, 5th Jan, 2014 (1st)

He is improving all the time. It was a nice performance giving the weight away and they are two good horses. I imagine I might give him another run before Cheltenham, we will see, I haven't anything in mind. It probably wouldn't have been his preferred ground. He is lazy and Ruby said the minute he passed the winning post he dropped it. He only does enough all the time. He jumped well and I was pleased with his jumping. Hopefully he will keep improving, he is bred to get a trip, although he seemed to have plenty of speed on better ground. He will get an entry for the three races at Cheltenham (the Supreme Novices, the Neptune and the Albert Barlett), but I imagine we will be looking at the Neptune or the Albert Bartlett, depending on what other runners we have.

After race at Navan Sun, 15th Dec, 2013 (1st)

.It was a tactical race and we weren't sure if Azorian would jump off in front or drop in. Our fella proved in Wexford that he was able to jump in front,.

W P Mullins

After race at Wexford Tue, 19th Nov, 2013 (1st)

I think the Royal Bond will come too soon for him and I'm thinking of stepping him up in trip for the Grade 1 Navan Novice Hurdle (December 15th).

W P Mullins

After race at Thurles Thu, 3rd Jan, 2013 (1st)

He hadn't shown me anything until he worked the other day,. He's probably the type to show more on the track and that's a good sign in a horse. We haven't decided whether or not he'll go over hurdles but I'd imagine after that he'd be good enough for a winners bumper. A step up in trip would probably do him no harm either and on his pedigree he'd probably prefer better ground too.
