After race at Navan Sun, 22nd Nov, 2020 (1st)

It was a lovely performance. He had a good run in Bellewstown where he was a bit green and ran around the place. The winner (Railway Hurricane) has ended up being a good horse. Then we went to the north, where you'd think you'd be going for an ordinary maiden hurdle, and The Shunter turned up there. We'd never run him on winter ground before but we're happy enough that he handled that. He'll go for something similar. There is a novice handicap hurdle at Leopardstown over Christmas and we might look at that. He's done his job today and that's the main thing. He's not over big but he's athletic. We have a couple by that sire, Born King, who only covered a handful of mares. We also have King Alex who won here two weeks ago. We got one good one by him a few years ago so went back and bought a few more out of a field. We're not sorry now, it's turned out well.
