After race at Sligo Thu, 27th Sep, 2018 (1st)

He’s annoyed me more than any other horse that I’ve ever trained. He’s loads of ability and is out of a real good mare. He always makes one mistake too many. The ground and everything was in his favour today and if he didn’t win we were in trouble. He’ll go for a nice handicap chase now that we have got him winning at long last.
