After race at Fairyhouse Wed, 18th Nov, 2015 (1st)

If his jumping was up to standard I was confident that he would run a good race,. He loves those conditions, and it was exactly the same when he won a maiden hurdle here before. He broke down and was off for nearly two years. The lads who own him were also in the Lion Na Bearnai (won Irish National in 2012) syndicate.
