After race at Naas Tue, 18th Dec, 2018 (1st) 
He's a bit of a tricky fella and he's had 101 chances,. In fairness to him he jumped well today. They went quick and the race was run to suit him. He's been disappointing in fairness but things just worked out for him today. They were coming back to him and he was sneaking away. The stiff finish probably suited him. He's not a fella I'd be trusting with my life but it's nice that he's after winning a race now.
