Punchestown Mon, 5th Feb, 2024  Mercurey His jumping was very good. He got tight to one down the back, but I wanted to see what he was like on an in-between stride as well. He figured that out well and when you need him, he’s very good. He’s filled into himself for a tall horse. It took him a year after that good four-year-old season but he’s getting there now.

Punchestown Tue, 12th Dec, 2023  Elixir D'ainay Willie had him entered in a chase and I'd presume that's the road he'll go down from here. It's lovely to get him back and that was a lovely race to find for him. We'll be happy now if the wheels stay on. He's a fine big horse and his form was very good around the time he got injured. It's lovely to see him back and credit to all of Willie's team.
