he’s a very green horse. We have been struggling with our bumper horses this year because we haven’t been able to get them on grass. We usually find if they are on the grass a few times at home then they know what they are at. He was awful green and you would imagine he should improve a lot. He has a good pedigree with plenty of Group winners. We’ll leave him now for a while and let him bulk up a bit, and probably give him a run somewhere towards the end of the season. We’ll let him get himself together as he’s still a big baby. Paul Lanney is one of the owners and he also bred him. He has a supermarket in Ardee and lives in Nobber; most of the owners are from around that area. Noel Meade, trainer
