He wasn't firing for me last year for whatever reason but he is in a better place this year and was fit and well. He needs soft ground so we had a nightmare year with him last year but I still didn't think he was 100% last year. He's much better this year and got a lovely ride today. We'll look for another handicap and he jumps a fence well so we'll go that way too.

He was a bit green up the straight but seems to cope with the ground fine. I think there is a lot of improvement in him. He was green in Thurles and on and off the bridle, and the same up the straight today. We like him a lot and hopefully he can go forward from here. He's the horse who pulled up in the breeze up in Deauville where I bought him for six grand last summer. Since I've bought him, everywhere I've brought he's finished in front. We are just taking baby steps with him so hopefully he can improve again. That's my first runner today for JP. I don't know where he will go next. Today was nervous enough!

There's a funny story behind this horse as I was in Deauville last summer and the three-year-olds can't get into the Sale unless they breeze. This horse came up the straight and planted halfway up his breeze when he saw the stands, and everyone started to laugh. But he was actually only broken two weeks and they (previous owners) thought they could put him through but he was broken quickly in ten days. He stopped-dead going up the straight and they didn't even show his breeze when he was going through the ring. But he is a Poliglote, the French Champion sire, and he only cost 6,000. Today he was a little green, hung and didn't settle but didn't do as much wrong today as the first time he was on a racecourse and I'm delighted. I took a chance buying him but he is Poliglote at the end of the day and has so much to learn still. We may have to find owners for him now as he is for sale and I'd obviously like to hold on to him - there aren't many Poliglotes around.
