It’s nice to put that bad run in Tipperary behind him and we felt he’d been doing things nice at home. He might need a longer trip, as he’s getting settled now compared to what he used to be like. I’m very pleased to get him back on track. He’s only in the Champion Hurdle (at Cheltenham) and I’m not sure if he’ll go there. We might look at a few of the Graded races at Fairyhouse over Easter.

After race at Galway Thu, 3rd Aug, 2023 (1st)
Only one four-year-old that I'm aware of (Perugino Diamond in 2000) has won the race before and it says something about how tough the horse is. Paul was fantastic on him and had him out in the right position the whole way around. There was no point in winning another small winners' race with him so you look at iconic races like this when you have horses like this. I wasn't too far away from Noel Meade in the stand and thought my horse was beaten so it is tough on Noel whose horse was second last year and third in 2021. Paul thought he was beaten too but when he changed his whip and hit him one smack the horse got down and galloped again. That just shows how brave he is. He looked a really decent horse when he won his maiden hurdle but got a colic last winter and had to put him by for the season. But it is all worthwhile now and he is obviously a graded horse and his previous form with Lossiemouth looks huge now.
