Gowran Park Wed, 2nd Apr, 2025  Eastwatch He’s a big baby, he’s 16.3hh, so he could be for Australia or the Triumph Hurdle but we’re going for a handicap at Royal Ascot. He’s still very raw and I won’t run him for six or eight weeks. I’ll give him a chance, a big horse like him. He’s been working very well with Sunchart, I’d put him in that kind of level. I wouldn’t run him on quick ground. He’ll go on it, but is a big horse and I wouldn’t run him on it. It’s grand, safe ground out there today.

Naas Sun, 23rd Mar, 2025  Rowdy Yeats He’s a nice horse. We fancied him when he went to the Curragh last year, we never thought he was bred to be a five furlong horse, but he was beat by a very good horse and they were a long way clear of the third. I thought I’d give him time to mature but I found it very hard to get him back and I don’t think I really had him 100 per cent when he came here at the end of the season. . He has trained very well and I fancied him today. . I put him in the other race (Madrid Handicap) as I thought he’d probably get 85 or 86 and Colin (Keane) said he could maybe win it but then he gave him 91 and I said I’d stay in a maiden. . I don’t know where he goes now but there is no reason why he can’t run in good races, I think he’s a good horse. . Jamie thought he might get further. He said he travelled really smoothly but parked a little bit in front, just got a little bit idle, but he said he was full of horse. . Colin has ridden him in all his work and he likes him a lot.
