He's a right little horse, he's tough and he's honest,. That's his seventh win and I'm delighted with him. He's in good order and as long as the ground is good we'll run away. We might even put him in the Munster National, if we got in there off a low weight we might have a go at that. He's only tiny, he's all guts and heart.

He’s a little star and it’s great that the lads (Fivers & Tenners Syndicate) were back to see him win today. They weren’t able to go to Galway when he won last year and hopefully he’ll head back there again. He could go for the same Flat race he won or I might give him an entry in the good 2m6f handicap hurdle after that. He rarely runs a bad race. That three miles seems to suit him and he gets two miles on the Flat — he stays well. He tries his heart out and is a great little horse to have in the yard.

Galway Tue, 28th Jul, 2020 (1st)
That’s great that he’s put his last run behind him as he’s generally very consistent. The last day is best forgotten as he was likely on the pace too much, but I’m delighted with him all told and he could run in a hurdle at Roscommon on Monday.

Navan Tue, 23rd Jun, 2020 (1st)
He's a right little horse. Since he won here last year, he's run 12 times and only been out of the first four on three of those. I think he's after improving since last year. He's tiny but he tries his heart out. He's a good, fun horse and a great bunch of lads own him. We'll enjoy it and hopefully they'll be able to go racing the next day. He'll mix it during the summer.

He's a grand little horse and he won well. Tramore didn't seem to take anything out of him and I'm delighted with that. We'll wait and see what the handicapper does but the Tote has those races for syndicate horses and there is one in Bellewstown with a good pot so we might aim him for there. We'll keep him going anyway, he's a grand little fun horse. He could probably go back on the Flat as he ran well in Galway from a bad draw. He's tough and hardy, he's small but at least he tries.
