After race at Tramore Sun, 4th Jul, 2021 (1st)

I'm delighted with that and Rachael gave him a super ride. It's lovely to see him stay that trip because we have always campaigned him over two miles to two-and-a-half. We just said we'd take the chance stepping him up a bit further and he was really good. Rachael said he saw it out really well. He loved the (good) ground and we will consider where to go with him now. We will look at these sort of races but I suppose you could consider the Galway Plate as well. Maybe the conditions chase at Galway might suit him better, I’ll see what the owners would like to do.
