After race at Limerick Sun, 14th Oct, 2018 (1st)

Davy Condon does a sterling job with this horse at home; he can be difficult and Davy is the only one who rides him. He has run to his mark there, beating the second rated 142 rated horse giving him 2lbs. It was a lovely opportunity for him and he has won a nice race there.

Gordon Elliott

After race at Down Royal Fri, 3rd Nov, 2017 (1st)

He obviously learned a lot from his first run in Fairyhouse and Jack (Kennedy) said he jumped great bar the second last. They were racing down to it and he just kind of grabbed it and hurdled it a bit. Jack was delighted with him. He's a real hurdler and he likes to get on with things. The step up in trip suited him as well - two and a half would probably be his ideal trip. The softer the ground the better as he doesn't like it too good, it was nearly a bit too good the last day in Fairyhouse. Everything suited him today. I know it was unfortunate the horse (Gilt Shadow) falling but it looked like he was getting on top.

Davy Condon, representing Gordon Elliott

After race at Gowran Park Sat, 18th Feb, 2017 (1st)

.I felt he'd improved alot from Navan, and we were giving Jezki weight the last day. It was a good performance,. He was going to go chasing but he had a few setbacks. He'll go over fences next year. He could step up to two and a half miles, and the race at Aintree might be a possibility. The plan was to let him roll off the back straight and if he was good enough he was good enough.

Gordon Elliott

After race at Fairyhouse Sat, 28th Nov, 2015 (1st)

Gordon Elliott

After race at Down Royal Fri, 30th Oct, 2015 (1st)

He's a nice horse. He's a big chaser in the making, and a highly-strung horse. He jumps hurdles very well. That's him finished in bumpers, and he'll go hurdling now.
