After race at Kilbeggan Fri, 25th Aug, 2017 (1st)

He's a grand honest horse. We got him well enough handicapped,. It's great for Noel and Valerie who are from Bective. He could win again and he's probably well enough handicapped over hurdles. We were a bit worried about the rise in the weights but Davy gave him a great ride. He was probably better here than the last day and jumped great on the last circuit. Hopefully he's an improving horse.
