After race at Punchestown Sat, 4th May, 2024 (1st) 
He's a tough horse who came out of a good home in John Nallen's. The race suited and he seemed to get his own way. He dug in well on the run-in and Sam was very good on him. He dropped his whip so thank God he won. He's a very good rider.

He’s a grand horse. We’ll probably head for Leopardstown over three miles and I’d imagine the further he goes the better he will be. He could be an ideal horse for a National Hunt Chase at Cheltenham because he doesn’t do a stroke. We were probably handed the race because the other horse jumped left but Jack said he has a great attitude and gallops the whole way. He’s very straightforward and was probably a bit fitter and sharper than the last day.

he's a grand honest horse. He doesn't do anything fancy at home but he keeps winning and they are the ones you want. We might look at the three-mile race in Clonmel (Grade 3 Powerstown Novice Hurdle, February 17) for him, that would look the race to go for.
