After race at Gowran Park Sun, 19th Jun, 2011 (1st)

He did it well, although they didn't go too fast and a stronger pace would have suited my fella. I thought there would have been more of an ease in the ground with all the rain around. He'll go for the four-year-old novice hurdle on the first day at Galway. He's still an entire and I'd be a bit worried that he might boil over some day.

After race at Wexford Thu, 17th Mar, 2011 (1st)

He was entitled to win that. He wasn't right all winter and it's the first time I've been happy with him,. He might go to Punchestown and there is a Grade 3 at Fairyhouse also. He won't mind better ground.
