After race at Curragh Sat, 25th Aug, 2012 (1st)

He stayed at it well. He was given a fair blow as he was out for a while and is just back in five weeks. That will leave him right for his next run which will probably be over hurdles. He is a good jumper of hurdles and he is very genuine and gives everything even with no whips today (as it was an apprentice race). Really heavy ground doesn't suit him as he is flat bred. I told Megan to sit in on him and take it up in the straight but they found it hard to get by the leader. He will probably go to Listowel now for a conditions hurdle or a handicap hurdle unless he pops out of this very well he could go for another flat race. I hope the handicapper isn't too hard on him.

He would have been a good second but for falling at Punchestown. He's been on the go a long time now and he might have a rest. He could have some May grass and come back for Galway.

J T Gorman

After race at Gowran Park Sat, 26th Nov, 2011 (1st)

That certainly was a little bit of a surprise,. We always had a doubt about him getting the trip as he had been running freely over six and seven furlongs. We brought him to the sales but nobody wanted him. His jumping will improve as he gets more experience - he's only done two weeks schooling. I suppose we'll go to Leopardstown at Christmas now and see what happens.
