After race at Downpatrick Fri, 26th Apr, 2024 (1st) 
He jumped very well and I'm happy with him. I was very happy with his work recently. He ran in Gowran a while back and the ground was too wet and he just couldn't get through the ground. The one thing I was happy with that day was that he settled. He has a tendency to get very lit up and very keen and hang. He's quirky. I was happy that he settled away in Gowran and didn't hang. I thought on his best form he'd have a chance. He won a maiden hurdle up here and he won a bumper (in Cork), so he's not a bad horse. I'm delighted for James. He did seven months over with Jonjo (O'Neill) and he loved it. He said he would come back for the summer with the option of going back next winter if he wants. He's a good lad and he works hard, he has a good head on him. I'm delighted for Michael Hannon (owner), he has been very patient with the horse and a few disappointing days. The horse has ability and he showed it there today.

Jamie is delighted with him and he won nicely at the line. He was a little bit green when he joined the leader but he said once he got him out, he quickened well. He has been on the go a while and will need a break at some stage but we'll see how he is after that and I'll have with Jamie and see what he thinks. I'm delighted for Michael (Hannon, owner) as he had Maeve's Choice who got injured a few years ago and he bought this horse at the sales. He is a pleasure to train for and hopefully we'll have a bit of fun with this horse.
