After race at Killarney Tue, 13th Jul, 2021 (1st)

That was brilliant and I didn't expect it to be honest as it was a bit of a prep run for Galway and we thought he'd need it,. He is very tough and I'm delighted for the horse to get his head in front and delighted for his owner Tom O'Connor as he has been second a clatter of times for us. He ran some good races on the flat last year and the amateur handicap at Galway was the plan and we'll stick to that. He is class to do anything with, he is honest and tries and is a pleasure to train.
