After race at Thurles Wed, 27th Jan, 2016 (1st)

He had been a very difficult raw horse but might now pay for that time, and seems to have come on a bit and gained confidence from Limerick. He was the one I fancied coming here today and he'll be a chaser in time. my best season was when I had 25 winners once, back a long time ago.

After race at Limerick Sun, 27th Dec, 2015 (1st)

He loves the ground and stays. The bit of experience helped and Phillip knows the horse and gave him a great ride. Staying is his game and he loves deep ground.
