After race at Navan Sat, 14th May, 2022 (1st) 
We were hopeful with the track and the step back to five (furlongs). It's hard to place a horse like him, there is not many races. It was a bit of a quick turnaround from last week but we've done it before and he's old now so he knows the gameplan. We'll do the same again, go back to Epsom and then go to the Curragh. He ran in England five times last year and is not a great traveller. It took it out of him and he possibly won't go to the UK as much. It is too much of an ask. He takes his racing well, I think there is a race for him in the meantime in the Curragh. If it is not five, I don't think there is much point. None of his wins are past the five. To be honest he's not the quickest horse, he would be always on his head. It looked like he had a bit much to do but he got there in the end. Everyone that rides him says he needs to step up but he has never won beyond five!

He loves this track and coming back to five helped,. He ran well in Tipperary, staying on well, and we thought after that he was back to himself. We went to Naas the last day, he went a good gallop but just cut out. Dropping back in trip today made the difference. He's never won beyond five so he obviously doesn't get beyond that. There are very few races for him, hence we had him out so quickly. He's done his job today.
