After race at Fairyhouse Tue, 7th Apr, 2015 (1st)

We ran him in a snaffle with no noseband which may have made a difference but in fairness he jumped great and the other two didn't jump as well. Ruby said he was really enjoying himself, and was a different horse than the last day. He hasn't missed a beat all season and, as long as the ground is soft, he'll go to Punchestown.

W P Mullins

After race at Navan Sun, 9th Nov, 2014 (1st)

.That was a nice surprise as I thought the ground might be a bit too dry,.

W P Mullins

After race at Naas Mon, 28th Oct, 2013 (1st)

He's very well and has come back better than ever, so hopefully we can look forward to a nice season,. It won't be his Derby, but he's well-in at the weights so we're letting him blow the cobwebs off and see where we go after that.

W P Mullins

After race at Punchestown Thu, 25th Apr, 2013 (1st)

We had been considering the two mile Grade 1 race but we felt that this would suit him better. It's possible that we could bring him to France if we could find something for him there. The other option is that he probably has a hurdle mark that we can exploit. Two miles is his optimum trip, on soft ground. We used to think over hurdles that he wasn't the toughest in the world. Over fences though he's been a revelation.

W P Mullins

After race at Galway Sun, 28th Oct, 2012 (1st)

he was a bit keen early and recovered well from two mistakes. In fairness it was a good performance and he keeps surprising me.

W P Mullins

After race at Listowel Sat, 22nd Sep, 2012 (1st)

He handled the ground well. I'm not sure jumping is his first love as he was a bit sketchy over some of them but he shows lots of speed at home and should win another novice chase. I don't know how far up the ladder he will go over fences though.

W P Mullins

After race at Fairyhouse Tue, 26th Apr, 2011 (1st)

I'd say we were a bit lucky!. He is owned by a French syndicate, ML Bloodstock Ltd, which includes French Champion Trainer Guy Cherel. We'll head to Punchestown with Twinlight but I've no immediate race in mind.
