After race at Punchestown Wed, 12th Jun, 2019 (1st)

On ratings he was probably entitled to do it but Jack was very happy with him. He jumped well and he just does what he has to do when he gets to the front. He’s that laidback that he could go any trip. He’s got the pace for two and a half (miles) and he’d stay three. He’ll be a fun horse to keep going. It’s good for Jack as it’s his first winner since he’s come back and we’ll try and keep him and Davy happy. Jack had to get a pin removed from his leg which was related to an old injury.

It's good that we can see that he can step right up in trip. Whatever race I can find between two and three (miles) now because he's that type of horse. It's hard to make a big plan for him. He will (jump a fence) - he was bold enough, he enjoyed it and he enjoyed the nice ground. It's good for Paddy Vaughan, it's his first winner over jumps. Great for the Sloans, obviously they are big supporters of the yard and this is their local racecourse.

After race at Downpatrick Sun, 17th Jun, 2018 (1st)

Davy is lucky for me! He doesn't do much wrong anyway!. It's great for the Sloans who are big supporters of the yard. He had the form to win but he just jumped his hurdles too carefully, that's why I put the cheek-pieces on today. He won well when he got the gap. There is improvement over hurdles (to come) and he could be a horse to go back on the Flat.
