After race at Fairyhouse Sat, 23rd Feb, 2019 (1st)

He seems to have improved and has surprised me. Robert said he goes a nice gallop and he keeps going,.

Padraig Roche

After race at Fairyhouse Wed, 13th Feb, 2019 (1st)

I’m delighted for the owners Peter and Aidan (Comerford). They are good friends of dad and were nice enough to leave this horse with me. He was very disappointing on the Flat, and he ran so bad in Listowel that the following morning I put him over about 15 hurdles and he seemed to take to them well. He’s done that well and there is a Grade 3 here on Saturday week that I might stick him in. It might be a bit out of his league but we’ll see how he goes and see what the owners would like to do.
