After race at Fairyhouse Sun, 29th Nov, 2020 (1st)

Jack (Kennedy) gave him a grand ride, followed the leaders and kept it simple. He said he is still a bit novicey with his jumping and that's only his second ever run over hurdles. He said he'd learn plenty from that and said he won snug and never emptied him completely. I'll discuss it with the owners but I'd imagine Christmas at Leopardstown will be the obvious next plan.
