After race at Thurles Thu, 7th Mar, 2019 (1st)

It was good form from his run the last day and it is great for him to do that,. He is an enthusiastic horse and Jamie was very good on him and he jumped super and did everything well. He could go back over hurdles but we'll see where there is a race for him next.

After race at Clonmel Thu, 7th Dec, 2017 (1st)

That was great as he was off the track for two years before running here last month. I got him during the summer and that's his second run for me and he had been doing everything well at home. He is a lovely horse and will stay over hurdles for the season. I believe he has had his trouble along the way but touch wood he has stayed in one piece so far.
