After race at Cork Fri, 14th Jul, 2023 (1st)

he had 3lb more on the flat and his form at home was very good. I was happy to see the rain which took the sting out of the ground and made it ideal so we thought he should have been competitive. I was always happy, he got a good run around and jumped and settled well. He got a bit of a solo out in front and it allowed him to settle which was one concern but it made sure he settled. Thank God his owner Joe Taylor is patient with me as I have him nearly 12 months but slight little niggly things kept holding him up. He was fair enough to give me the rope to be patient though.
