After race at Gowran Park Fri, 29th Sep, 2017 (1st)  He was quite leery and was very green at his hurdles but he's a nice horse and had good bumper form,. He had a good look at the first and he even had a good look at the second last. No harm done though. I was watching it from the stands so it was hard to see but he jumped the fourth last and kind of ended up in front. For his first run over hurdles he was left in front with plenty of time. Still and all it was lovely. He should stay further as well. We'll think about stepping up in trip but he'd definitely be better when we can drop him in a bit more. We'll look for a novice and I don't think we need to go aiming too high yet. Joseph Patrick O'Brien

After race at Cork Sat, 7th Jan, 2017 (1st)  It was a good performance and he liked the ground I'd say but I didn't expect him to do that as I thought he'd get a bit tired,. I'd say he's not a bad horse and I'm not sure if the Cheltenham Bumper would be the right thing for him this year but maybe. I'd say he'd definitely have to run again to go and hopefully he'll come out of this ok. His dam handled good ground so there seems no reason why he shouldn't. Joseph Patrick O'Brien
