he’d a good run in Laytown last time and has dropped to a more favourable mark. I’d imagine he’ll keep going here through the winter as he loves the surface and enjoys it up here. Shane gave him a good ride as he raced a bit lazy turning out of the back straight but did it well in the end. We had a quiet time through the mid-summer as there was a bit of sickness through the yard but at the end of the year we’ve had a good time. We’d a few winners here last week, and will try and keep it going if we can. We’ve a couple of nice two-year-olds still to run here this year. They were a bit backward and didn’t get out on grass. They should give some of the maidens here a rattle.

he's a lovely horse. John started him the first day in a Listed race won by Caravaggio and we all saw what he did during the week. He's really well entered and John really likes him. He travelled sweetly and is held in high regard. He'll have no problem going six furlongs.
