After race at Downpatrick Sun, 12th Aug, 2012 (1st)

He keeps improving from every run. He settled and jumped lovely today and he is a professional jumper. He'll go for a novice hurdle now. He bleeds and he has done for a while.

Michael O'Hare

After race at Galway Wed, 1st Aug, 2012 (1st)

We were hopeful but thought the ground might be against us. It obviously rode better than we thought,. He's real genuine and very gutsy - he kept putting his head down. The only problem with him is that he's a bleeder. We're delighted with the performance and I can't believe that the first two pulled 29 lengths clear of the third. Robbie is a top class rider and gave him a terrific ride.

Michael O'Hare

After race at Downpatrick Sun, 25th Mar, 2012 (1st)

On his first run he was second in a real good bumper. He had subsequent Grade 1 winner Cash And Go behind him. He started to burst blood vessels though. We'll go to Fairyhouse next if Declan is available, to take seven pounds off him.
