he ran a blinder in Gowran last week where he was drawn wide and got a bit unbalanced around the bend. I’d four entered in this and I was half-thinking of running the four but Rory said just run him and Geological (eventual fifth) - Rory called it spot on. He’s in at Roscommon on Monday so if he’s sound he’s going to take his chance. They are in great form and Geological also ran a blinder. Lets hope we can keep it going now.

After race at Dundalk Wed, 2nd May, 2018 (1st)

I was under severe pressure tonight as I bumped into Johnny Ward at Punchestown on Friday and he asked me if I'd anything coming up. I said I had one here on Wednesday that would have a little chance and he said 'right if he wins I'll buy a horse with you'. So I'm after selling a horse!. He got injured last year and has been minding himself since he came back. He wasn't showing any bad signs at home but just wasn't doing it on the track. We stepped him right up in trip the last day to try and make it easier on him and then dropped back today with cheek-pieces on. It just sparked him back to life. The horses are all coming into form so hopefully we can crack on over the summer. He's just as good on the grass so hopefully we can have a bit of fun with him.
