After race at Dundalk Fri, 16th Feb, 2018 (1st) 
This place has been awful lucky for us this year, it's unreal,. I was delighted with him tonight the way he won there. He was really relaxed, even before he loaded in the stalls, and he's taking his racing really well. He's settling as the racing is going on. Ross gave him a super ride. He got him settled in behind another horse, switched him off and just came in the last 50 yards and went on lovely. We'll keep him going and keep him campaigning here and then probably look at the grass later on. That distance seems to suit him very well. That's three with him now so it's great.

We got him earlier on in the year from Harry Dunlop. He's a finicky kind of horse and it just took a while with him,. We got the right distance with him tonight. We were trying him over a mile-and-a-half and a mile. He was a little bit keen at the start. I wanted him to get him up in fourth and fifth place to get him to settle in because if he sees a lot of light he gets buzzed up a little bit. Once he got him in behind he settled. We're going to campaign for the whole winter here hopefully. Hopefully we'll pick up a few more. That's the second winner I've had in the last few weeks and the horses are all going well. We'll have a good few runners in the next two or three weeks and we have some lovely horses to come out.
