After race at Tipperary Mon, 4th Oct, 2021 (1st)  He is very effective on that ground and has been a superstar for us all season since the Lincoln (finished second) and ran really well at Leopardstown last time on ground which was quick for him. This is his ground and as Colin says, he is probably better than a Group 3 horse on this ground. First and foremost, we'll be speaking to his owner and making a plan but it'll all be about next year because this lad is only improving with age. Shane Lyons, representing G M Lyons

After race at Tipperary Sat, 3rd Oct, 2020 (1st)  Sam is doing well for us, he is a really good addition this year and is fitting in really well. Since Ger released him (to ride for outside yards) he is getting plenty of experience and is very fit and for a young lad he knows his homework. We like Maker Of Kings; he was a bit feminine but has grown into himself, it has taken him this time but he will be a nice horse next year. Hopefully he'll stay on the team for us next year and I think he will winter well. He went on that ground but I think he is one of those horses who will go on any ground. I think he'll get a bit further as well. We know our horses' limits and know when to move them on and sell, but he is a horse we'd like to keep on the team. G M Lyons

After race at Gowran Park Thu, 11th Jun, 2020 (1st)  Seven furlongs is as sharp as he wants but the secret is ground for him; he'd appreciate more ease but Eddie Scally and his team here have done a top class job with the ground,. There are plenty of options for him and he could step up to a mile next and will eventually go 1m2f. G M Lyons
