After race at
Dundalk Fri, 20th Oct, 2017 (1st) 
It's not the nicest of conditions but it's nice to get his maiden won. We're only feeling our way along with him. He obviously had the form to win it and when you give a good few quid for a lad like that it's nice to see them go and win. He's a big scopey horse. We'll talk to Paul and see where we go from there. You'd like to think he'll only get stronger with time. He showed a very good attitude in those conditions to pick up as it's not easy and we were very happy with him. We'll get him home and see now. There are a few handicaps up here. We had it in the back of our head that we might bring him to Dubai but I'm not sure if he's mature enough for that yet. We'll get him home and have a think about it. I'm delighted for Paul who is a huge supporter of the yard. To be able to give big money for a horse like that is a great position to be in and he deserves all the luck.
M Halford
