After race at Gowran Park Sat, 11th Nov, 2023 (1st)  He’s a big, strong horse but has been too keen in graded races so we decided to go for a handicap and Andrew Shaw gave him the same mark as he has over hurdles. He was really gutsy to battle back. He can stay three miles but he has to learn to settle and we ran him back quick as racing will settle him. We’ll try and find something for him in the next three weeks or so. He shouldn’t go up too much for winning by half-a-length. John Patrick Ryan

After race at Roscommon Mon, 12th Jun, 2023 (1st)  He's a fair horse. Hopefully he'll be lucky,. He'll have to up his game again the next day. He can go to three miles or go back to two, it doesn't matter. He's a classy horse, the best I've ever trained anyway. Whether he runs between now and Galway I don't know, maybe in another novice hurdle somewhere. He's a big horse, 17 hands and 650 kilos. John Patrick Ryan

After race at Ballinrobe Tue, 2nd May, 2023 (1st)  This is probably the best horse I ever put a bridle on and I don't say that lightly, I've had a lot of good horses down the years, but this horse is special. He's big, he's strong, clear-winded and sound. He's by Arcadio and loves a bit of nice ground. The dam is a sister to Monkerhostin. He's huge, 17 hands, and that's why he hasn't run until lately. He'll stay 2m4f and will probably want three miles in time. He'll be a lovely novice for the summer. John Patrick Ryan
