After race at Leopardstown Thu, 9th Aug, 2018 (1st)

He's a lovely horse and is unlucky not to have won a maiden. The step up in trip suited him well, and he loves that good ground. He can only improve and I didn't get him until this year because he was so big and gangly. He won't have any difficulty stepping up to two miles, and he'll definitely be kept in training next year.

Mrs John Harrington
