After race at Down Royal Fri, 21st Jun, 2013 (1st)

I don't know what happened him in Roscommon. We thought he would run well , but maybe he got too much light and pulled himself up. He came out of the race well. Davy said he loved that ground. It's great to get a winner here for the Sloan's at their local track. Davy says he has bags of ability and he can do it when he wants to.

Gordon Elliott

After race at Punchestown Sat, 31st Dec, 2011 (1st)

He was a bit keen and babyish and pricked his ears when he got to the front. There should be a bit of improvement in him. He'll go for the race in Leopardstown [Grade 1 Spring Juvenile Hurdle]. He's a nice horse for good owners and we got him in the sales in October.
