After race at Cork Sun, 6th Nov, 2011 (1st)

He's a classy horse but thinks about things a little. You can't force him to jump and Tom was ideal on him. Alot of the credit should go to Richard O'Dea who schools him. He was schooled yesterday morning and again this morning and it paid off. I thought this would be an ideal race for him, and Tom said he travelled fierce well. He'll get an entry in the Paddy Power Chase at Leopardstown although I don't know if he's robust enough for that.

After race at Galway Sat, 22nd Oct, 2011 (1st)

He handled that ground well and stayed on well. The owners (The Looney Bishop syndicate) are from Wales.

After race at Cork Sun, 14th Dec, 2008 (1st)

That was a fierce performance. When I saw the entries I was in two minds about running but Tom Doyle encouraged me to run. There is a novice in Naas early in the new year (the Slaney Hurdle) and he might go for that. I doubt he'll run at Christmas.

The Bishop Looney will go for a winners' of one next and will stay three miles in time as he is still only a young horse.
