He was just on song today. He met every fence right. He was keen. I wouldn't like to have been riding him myself. He has some pace. I rode him one day round Dundalk over a mile (schooling race). He got left 15 lengths and was only beaten four. He had a little bit of an injury a few years ago and started jumping rapidly left. That's why we went back to the flat. We'll look for something similar or go hurdling. He's only rated 116 over hurdles. I'm delighted for him when he's that age. He's been a great old servant and that's his best performance.
