After race at Downpatrick Fri, 18th May, 2018 (1st)

He travelled great and loved the ground. They've done a fantastic job on the ground up here - it was lovely juicy ground. He just travelled a lot better on it. I'd say he is a bit better than his ratings suggest. He needs just a good trip and a strongly-run race and on good ground around here you get that. He'll certainly get three miles and he'll have no problem jumping a fence. He ran away with me pulling up down the hill and I was impressed with him.
