After race at Kilbeggan Fri, 16th Jul, 2021 (1st)

I didn't know (if he was up) as I watched it head on but I got plenty of texts saying well done so I knew then,. He's an old horse with ability. He lost his way over fences a bit and we were just giving him a run back over hurdles to see if he would take an interest and he did. Jack was great on him again. He didn't give up on him and he jumped really well for him after jumping the first couple big. He was a good hurdler in his day, he was third in the Galway Hurdle for Rachael Blackmore. Jack's claim was a big help, the 7lb made the difference with him getting up a short-head.

I love it when a plan comes together!. He came back this season after a long lay-off and I suppose it has taken all those runs to get him back to fitness being a veteran and knowing the game. That was a two-stone worse race than the one he ran in the last day and Jack (Foley) who rode him said he wasn't fit enough and said he blew up at the third last. I had seen horses being dropped (on hurdle ratings by the handicapper) to get into these races in the past and this race fitted him really well. J.P. (McManus) is beyond patient and I don't believe there is a more generous man out there although sometimes he has more faith in them than I or anyone else has. It's great that he stuck in.

After race at Clonmel Thu, 19th May, 2016 (1st)

We'll see what happens now and he might go for a two mile handicap hurdle at Punchestown in thirteen days time. The handicapper has been good with the numbers lately!.

Thomas Mullins

After race at Galway Mon, 28th Jul, 2014 (1st)

I thought an awful lot of him. I fancied him in his bumpers and he was never beaten too far, but my horses were wrong and we've had a wicked year. I was confident coming here today, he had a good bit of form. He was beating everything at home. He could be a real decent horse and he could go all the way. He'll probably go straight over hurdles unless a winners' bumper fitted in.
