After race at Dundalk Fri, 11th Dec, 2015 (1st)

There is improvement to come from him. The way the gallops have been we haven't been able to get proper work into him. He doesn't handle anything but a good surface,. We had two plans for him, either Dubai or the winter all-weather. We thought we'd keep him for the all-weather as Lingfield and here would suit him better than Meydan at the moment. He could got to Lingfield in February for the Cleeve Stakes. That's the main target at the moment.

After race at Dundalk Fri, 19th Dec, 2014 (1st)

It's great to see him back in form again. We expected a bit more the last night and it's not that he let us down. He just didn't get the luck on the night. He's made up for it there though.

After race at Dundalk Thu, 27th Sep, 2012 (1st)

There's been nowhere else to go with him really as he is so ground dependent. He had to do it the hard way (drawn 11).

After race at Dundalk Wed, 18th Apr, 2012 (1st)

He came out of his last race here very fresh and well. We'll give him a few weeks off now and he might be one for the Scurries . we'll see what the handicapper does . I've had that race in the back of my mind for him.

Darren Bunyan

After race at Dundalk Fri, 30th Mar, 2012 (1st)

I'm delighted to get that and I have six in at the minute. We bought him in Newmarket and we'll keep him at the same level.
