After race at Galway Mon, 29th Oct, 2012 (1st)

that was a godo performance and he is a lovely horse. He jumped beautifully and quickened well. He has a lovely way of jumping but while I don't know immediate plans, I hope we'll be around for the Dr P.J. Moriarty Chase in December! . He was a few lengths off Grade 1 standard over fences but stays three miles well, loves soft ground, is by a very good sire (Saint Des Saints) . what more do you want!

D T Hughes

After race at Thurles Thu, 1st Mar, 2012 (1st)

We need another like him! He met the first two hurdles all wrong and he jumped a bit up in the air for the rest of them. The track probably wouldn't suit him.

D T Hughes

After race at Naas Sat, 29th Oct, 2011 (1st)

He might be a nice horse. I thought he'd need the run to be honest as most of mine coming back have been needing the run. I know it wasn't a good race but he was impressive and he might be good enough for some of the better novice races. He is by a French sire (Saint Des Saints) and most of his love the soft ground (Quito De La Roque, Quel Esprit, St Devote etc, etc).
