He jumped brilliant, and will probably go for a winners' race before he heads to the Horses In Training Sale in December. He's a grand game, tough horse and will give someone plenty of fun. He was a great jumper over hurdles and has learned quickly over fences. Ground wise he doesn't want extremes.

That's my first runner over jumps as he was with Dessie Hughes when second over hurdles at Wexford. Dessie had a lot of the work done with him over hurdles. He'll mix it over the summer and will always want a little ease in the ground. They have done a very good job here with the ground. It was a good performance considering he missed one of the early hurdles.

He is a grand genuine horse. He was fourth in two Leopardstown maidens. I wasn't sure the handicapper was right giving him a mark of 74 but he was proved right. He is in the sales at Newmarket but I hope he won't be sold. He will make a nice jumping horse and he loves a cut in the ground. I will run him again before the sales and try and get another bracket for him.
