After race at Leopardstown Mon, 26th Dec, 2016 (1st)

He'd fairly nice form as a novice but wasn't good enough to win a novice. I didn't know if he was well handicapped or not but he came up the hill well.

J H Culloty

After race at Tipperary Thu, 21st Apr, 2016 (1st)

He has been running well and I'd been looking for a bit of better ground, even better than today's. He doesn't want deep winter ground and he'll go chasing sooner rather than later. He's a real chaser, is a tough individual, and I'll keep him going during the summer.
