After race at Cheltenham Wed, 15th Mar, 2017 (1st)

He seems to come well at Cheltenham every year. He's an absolute superstar and we love him to bits. Jamie also gave him a great ride. It was a great result as we also had the second. If you have a plan, you have to try and do it right. We've had an unbelievable week. It's been a dream come true.

Gordon Elliott

After race at Navan Sun, 13th Jan, 2013 (1st)

It was a bit of a cat and mouse race and a better pace would have suited. He's an honest horse. He'll go now for the Betfair Hurdle at Newbury on February 9th. We'll look for something in Cheltenham after that. A faster gallop would have suited him as he'd have something to race at.

Gordon Elliott

After race at Fairyhouse Wed, 7th Nov, 2012 (1st)

He did it nicely. Davy said he blew up after the second last so he didn't knock him around. The plan is the Racing Post Hurdle at Cheltenham.

Gordon Elliott

After race at Kilbeggan Fri, 4th May, 2012 (1st)

He was unlucky to be still a maiden. Davy said he wasn't doing a whole lot in front and he just idled a bit and was looking for company. He will go for a winners race now before we send him handicapping.
