After race at Dundalk Fri, 6th Mar, 2020 (1st)

He's a nice horse, a fine big athletic horse,. I'm not sure Dundalk is even his surface because he's quite heavy topped and probably a turf horse really. He's a nice horse to have and he'll go jumping eventually. He's doesn't do much in front and he was babyish in the yard even. He's still a big baby and maybe those Morpheus' are bit late maturing mentally. I'm happy to get him over the line again and we gave him plenty of time off after the last time because he is big. I'm delighted with that.
