After race at Tramore Sun, 12th Apr, 2015 (1st)
He has won a bumper, a maiden hurdle and now a chase. We brought him over to the sales last year and we couldn't get E10,000 for him. The handicapper can't be too harsh on him, he only won a length and a half. If he stays right there should be another race in him over the summer.
