After race at Killarney Mon, 13th Jul, 2009 (1st)

Ruby was very good on him but you couldn't read too much into the race as they went no gallop - he jumped well, apart from the first two fences.

After race at Punchestown Wed, 27th May, 2009 (1st)

This horse is a bit of a problem horse, things just haven't worked out on occasions but everything worked out grand today and he's not a bad horse when everything works out. He's a very versatile horse and that race took nothing out of him, he will be kept on the go as he goes on good ground and he hasn't had a particularly hard season.

A J Martin

After race at Navan Sat, 28th Mar, 2009 (1st)

I never thought he'd beat Glenfinn Captain. He is a horse with a lot of old problems but everything went right for him today. He loves that quicker ground and it is hard to say where we'll go from here.
