After race at Naas Sat, 11th Nov, 2017 (1st)  He had a wind op since the (Irish) National, and the run in Punchestown brought him on nicely for today. His hurdle mark looked favourable compared to his chase rating, and he could go for a big handicap chase around Christmas or the Thyestes. He will probably run over hurdles up to that.

After race at Navan Sat, 10th Dec, 2016 (1st)  He won well in Galway and had every chance in Punchestown when he nearly fell after jumping the fence well. Mark Walsh said he slipped on the next stride after the fence. I thought he would have run on after the last fence in Punchestown after making that mistake and when he didn’t I was saying is he gone out of form’. He was working well at home so we said we’d take a chance. There was no point going for a 50,000 race with a penalty so we said we’d come here instead of Punchestown tomorrow. I don’t know if that will get him into the Paddy Power, or even if JP or Frank want to go for it, but he’s in the race anyway so it’s there and I’ll leave it to the owner. If they want me to run I’ll run. I’m very happy with today. He jumped well enough bar a few down the far side. He has his own way of doing it and we do work on his back from time to time.

After race at Galway Sun, 30th Oct, 2016 (1st)  He got browned off last year but was entitled to do that on his hurdles rating. His jumping was a bit ragged last year and we left him off after he disappointed at the Fairyhouse Easter meeting. His jumping was better today and he'd prefer a trip. I've nothing in mind but hopefully he can continue to climb up the handicap ladder - he can go three miles or further. Thomas Mullins

After race at Punchestown Wed, 18th Feb, 2015 (1st)  .He jumped great and was happy all the way,. He just got a bit lonely in front. He wanted a big jump at the last and he came up for him. He'll go chasing next year. Thomas Mullins
