Navan Sun, 15th Dec, 2024  Brave Troop We're delighted. He settled much better today so he was able to ride him that bit closer and he picked up nicely. He jumped better today as well. He's jumping better and settling better and I think that's why he has improved. There might be something in Leopardstown for him. He might creep into the bottom of the two-miler there. Two miles on decent ground is important. He wouldn't want it any softer. It's dead enough there but he handled it fine.

Thurles Thu, 28th Nov, 2024  Brave Troop The main thing was to get over his last (hurdle) run when he fell (at Gowran Park in September last year), but he got him around nicely and he settled. We were fortunate to get this type of ground in November, so we'll probably tip away on the all-weather for the rest of the year.
