After race at Navan Wed, 25th Oct, 2017 (1st)

He works really well at home, and David Spratt has joked all summer that this lad will win when you don’t expect,. It’s really down to the way Colin is riding and we had to get into the horses head. You need to arrive late and wide, and don’t give him any excuse to lie down.
