After race at Cork Sun, 22nd Nov, 2020 (1st)

Jumping and staying is his game and certainly the further the better for him and he is a three-miler. He won three point-to-points and we'll be looking for three mile races for him and that ground doesn't bother him. Hopefully we'll find a nice staying handicap for him at some stage.
