He has improved and had a lot of misfortune on some of his earlier runs. He got messed up by a horse beside him on his first start at Naas, the same thing happened another day at Leopardstown and then he hurt himself another day. It has taken him until his last two starts to show his true colours. He didn't get the trip at Killarney and I was worried about the sticky ground here but he goes on soft and on holding so he's not a bad horse over seven furlongs, maybe six; his sire's (No Nay Never) average winning distance is 6.4 furlongs. We'll see if we can win a handicap with him and he'll probably end up going to the sales. John M Oxx, trainer
