We needed that as a lot of my horses have been under a cloud,.

After race at Navan Sat, 21st Dec, 2013 (1st)

The key to this horse is the heavy ground. We were running him and he wasn't letting himself down to gallop. He lost his way a bit after winning his bumper at Thurles on bottomless ground. He could step up in trip.

After race at Thurles Thu, 9th Feb, 2012 (1st)

I wasn't expecting that. He was very green all the way around, and the one thing he'll do is improve.
