After race at Kilbeggan Fri, 6th Sep, 2013 (1st)

that's been a long time coming! He won a bumper here a few years ago and has run well here a few times but is a long time trying to win a chase. He had a nice low weight and Philip gave him a good ride to get him up. There's a race at Listowel for him and hopefully the handicapper doesn't give him too much for that.
