After race at Naas Sat, 12th Feb, 2022 (1st) 
That's a lovely surprise. I only have him three weeks and to be fair he came in really beautiful shape from Eoin McCarthy, who I have to give massive credit to. I just cantered him and we thought it was a good idea to get him started. He's a horse that we thought was quite unexposed on his profile, that's his first run in a handicap, but I didn't think it was going to happen that quick. I thought Shane was terrific on him, he sat and sat and on that ground it worked very well. For a horse of his size the idea was to see if we could grab something over hurdles and then go jumping a fence. We've got that and we'll probably let him run again in three weeks over a little bit further. The lads from the Impulsive Dancer syndicate went to re-invest and we found him as a fun horse so it's a big thanks to them for supporting us to get him.
