After race at Navan Sat, 9th Dec, 2017 (1st)

He's a horse that's after running two or three races fairly quickly and people were kind of giving out to me about running him so quickly after Thurles. He had a fairly hard race in Thurles, he made a couple of mistakes and it took the wind out of his sails. He lost no weight or anything so I said 'why shouldn't we run him'. When he hit the last hurdle I thought he was nearly gone but he went again. He's tough out. He's a genuine galloper. At home he just puts down his head and keeps going. He's genuine and honest. He has an abundance of that. He's not the quickest but he'll grind it out. He's just big enough but he has the right attitude and has a bit of a heart so those things will help him in heavy ground. Robert Tyner's horse came at him and he was still grinding it out. It actually helped him and it was a good battle.
