After race at Fairyhouse Tue, 6th May, 2014 (1st) 
that was fantastic! He has been hard to settle and Noel gave him a great ride today. He jumped away and has caught on to the jumping end of things. We took him to Ayr when the ground was very sticky but he did that nicely and we're well pleased. There's a nice handicap at Ayr on June 8 for him and that's the plan and we'll keep motoring while the ground is good.

He did it nicely and he settled better today. He is catching on to the game. We will keep him going now on good ground for the summer, that's if we get a summer! He'll jump a fence in time. Five people make up the winning Back To Balloo Syndicate and they are from Killinchy in Co Down. Brothers Alan & Bill Dunlop bred the horse and they are part of the syndicate. Alan is a vet.
