After race at Navan Wed, 19th Oct, 2016 (1st)

it was never in doubt!. I wanted to make plenty of use of him as he gets that trip (1m5f) well. He improved from his last run and was always up to winning a maiden like that. He was probably getting a little bit lonely in front but to be fair he stuck at it well and stamina is his forte. He’ll be a grand dual purpose horse for the winter and the softer the ground the better he’ll be.

After race at Naas Sun, 21st Feb, 2016 (1st)

He did what we expected him to do,. Obviously he's a possible for Cheltenham and he's also a possible for Fairyhouse and Punchestown. We'll see how he comes out of the race before we make a decision. He's very effective on that ground but I'd say he'll be effective on good ground as well.

After race at Leopardstown Sun, 9th Feb, 2014 (1st)

it was a good performance and Robbie did the right thing when he dropped him right out as they were going too fast early on. He decided to change tactics when the pace of the race decides. We only have the three bumper horses (also Silver Concorde and Windsor Park) and maybe one of the three might go for the Cheltenham bumper but I doubt this fella will go. We'll make a decision in a couple of weeks but they'll be three nice horses for the Flat as the season progresses and will be dual purpose horses.
