After race at Curragh Thu, 27th Jun, 2019 (1st) 
He’s a big, late-developing horse and is a nice one for the future. He’d two lovely runs last year, and he won an ordinary contest at Clonmel but he did it nicely. We were a bit worried that there were a few hardened campaigners in the race, and it was a tough ask for a horse with as little experience as him. We don’t have anything in particular in mind but he can come back a few furlongs as well. That’s the first time he’s had good ground and it’s drying out all the time. He seemed to enjoy it and Niall was happy enough with him.

He was fresh as it was his first day out this year and it wasn't much of a contest but he did it fairly easy. We'll see what the handicapper does and make a plan from there. The ground was slow here today and that's the only reason we ran him but during the summer we'll look for big galloping tracks.
