After race at Tipperary Fri, 10th Aug, 2018 (1st)

What you'd like about him is he put his head down and will turn into a lovely horse. He stays well and he stuck his head down. Sergei Prokofiev (runs at the Curragh on Sunda) is well and is ready to start back again. I'm happy with him and looking forward to seeing Sergei again. They were all under a cloud and there was no horse wasn't. It went through the whole place and I think there wasn't one that missed it. We kept going but were gentle away through it and then we needed to get them back and started again so that's the stage we're at now.
