After race at Navan Sun, 19th Feb, 2017 (1st)

We were delighted with him in Punchestown the last day when he ran on really well in the National trial,. He's had a few niggly problems, and a wind op as well, but it all seemed to come right today. The plan is to go for the Midlands National at Uttoxeter again. Fingers crossed he comes out of this well and that will be his next outing all being well.

That's a great way to start over fences. He's been schooling at home and he was excellent today. Keith gave him a great ride. He'll have a little break over the summer.
