After race at Navan Wed, 29th Mar, 2023 (1st) 
it was a nice to get a lead (from front-running Oriental Eagle), he has form on that ground, won on it in Listowel and Cork but he is pretty versatile. He's good fresh. The end of last year was a bit of a mess so hopefully this year we'll have a good year. I'd say he'll come back here for the Vintage Crop Stakes. He was third in the Irish Derby but he hasn't won a stakes races yet so we'll try and win one, and take the steps from there. Today was just to take the first step and hopefully he'll improve. Staying isn't a problem to him.

he ran a good race meeting loads of trouble in the Eyrefield Stakes last year and that race is working out well. He was more professional today, up in trip and I'd say this trip is his bare minimum. He keeps finding and is still learning on the job. He has plenty of entries and there is a 1m5f Listed race for three year old only at Navan and he'll have no problem getting that trip. We have him entered in Epsom and his owners are keen to go and that is in consideration. A cut in the ground doesn't inconvenience him and I think he'll get 1m6f later in the year so a race like the St Leger in Doncaster might be right up his street.

He's a nice horse and I was hoping he'd run a nice race. When I saw he was drawn in 14 and looked at the stats it didn't make great reading. Like a lot of mine first time he was a bit clueless early on but he was able to put it together in the second half of the race, so that was great. He's my first horse for Teme Valley so it's a nice start. He's a nice big horse and will make a fine three-year-old. I'm not sure if he'll run again this year but he might.
