After race at Gowran Park Sat, 1st Oct, 2011 (1st)

He did it well and hopefully can go to a higher level over fences now,. He was a bit disappointing over hurdles and didn't live up to out expectations.

Paul Nolan

After race at Leopardstown Sun, 27th Feb, 2011 (1st)

Davy said he was very lairy in front but he can do that all his life if he keeps winning. He is still quite green. It isn't the ideal preparation for Cheltenham but he'll go there now for the Albert Bartlett. He hurt his back when disappointing at Ballinrobe (back in September) and he wasn't right for a while afterwards. He's clearly right again now though and he jumped a bus at the first (he jumped it so well). He is probably better going this way around (left-handed) as well.

He's one of the nicest young horses I've had for a while. The ground today is as quick as he'd want, and he'll be left off now and come back hurdling in the autumn.
