After race at Limerick Fri, 23rd Jun, 2017 (1st)

He's really a 45 to 65 horse so Killian's 5lbs claim had to help and he's healthy and well at the moment,. I'm a pessimist by my nature and the glass is always half-empty so I didn't think he was up!. He's in again at Tipperary on Thursday and will then go to Killarney in July.
