After race at Thurles Thu, 23rd Feb, 2012 (1st)

He got in here under a 4lb penalty and did it well. He came out of the Clonmel race well, so we decided to run him.

Liam Casey

After race at Clonmel Thu, 16th Feb, 2012 (1st)

He's a home-bred and won his point-to-point at Dromahane last October. I'm delighted to win a maiden hurdle with him. I stuck him in a handicap hurdle at Thurles next Thursday. He'll probably have one more run over hurdles, and then we'll leave him off and go chasing in the autumn.
