After race at Galway Sat, 26th Oct, 2019 (1st)  It is unfortunate but they (IHRB) are going to have the next trainers' course in the spring. I think it is the first time ever that they didn't have more than one course in the year. One was held last spring but the autumn course was cancelled as a minimum of ten people was required to hold the course. we expected that as these were only summer horses and he is a proper winter horse. He had been to a schooling hurdle in Tipperary and ran well there and is improving all the time. He is class (to jump) and loves jumping. He was getting all the allowances there so you wouldn't want to get carried away, but he is worth an entry in the Craddockstown Chase, over two miles, and the 2m4f Florida Pearl Chase. If he is not good enough we can drop him back down again but I couldn't have been happier there. Kevin Brouder has been riding for us but is injured at the moment and we're been using best available at the moment and Davy (Russell) is one of four riders we're using today. Keith Henry Clarke

After race at Wexford Mon, 29th Oct, 2018 (disq)  He had two solid runs at Leopardstown and Naas. Navan might have been a run too much for him at the end of last season so we didn't mind that. He grinded it out there today, he is a three-mile horse so you'd be delighted to get a bumper win with him. I'm not sure whether he'll go for a winners' bumper but I'd say he will be in his comfort zone over three miles in novice company. He is a brilliant jumper. He had a run over hurdles the first day at Punchestown and ran a lovely race, so he will have no problem going back hurdling now straight away. He is a good, honest, genuine horse. Alan Fleming
