After race at Leopardstown Mon, 15th Apr, 2013 (1st)

He is a grand old horse. His owner is from outside Mallow and he is a bit sick at the moment so this will be a good tonic for him. He did it well and he likes it around here. He ran well here in the Paddy Power (beaten five lengths into seventh by Cross Appeal in the 2007 renewal) and he was second in a chase here last year. Claire has done a good job with him. He was a bit sick of the heavy ground all winter. He has had his problems but he seems to be over them now.

Miss Claire Simpson

After race at Killarney Thu, 19th Aug, 2010 (1st)

He'll go for a two mile three chase on the first of the Listowel Festival, that trip should suit him. He loves this place and he's a stone better here than anywhere else.

Eugene M O'Sullivan

After race at Listowel Sun, 13th Sep, 2009 (1st)

Head Waiter is a classy horse but broke down when he ran last at Killarney in May '08. Paddy (Flood) said he blew up on the run to the final fence and he should come on a lot from the run. Hopefully he'll stay sound now and we'll make plans once he stays in one piece.
