After race at Sligo Thu, 4th Aug, 2016 (1st)
it wasn't a great maiden hurdle but he loved the ground and he'll be a grand horse for the winter. You wouldn't think being by Duke Of Marmalade he'd want it that soft but he seems to love it. He's a genuine type, will jump a fence in time and he's a grand horse for a four-year-old and the allowances they get are a big help. He's in at Ballinrobe on Monday and he might go there as it's a €30,000 race, there are only seven entries and the top horse is rated 113.
