After race at Killarney Mon, 12th May, 2014 (1st) 
He was well in at the weights (carried six pound less than Sailors Warn, and twelve pounds less than Aerlite Supreme). He had never run over two and a half before, so it was a case of whether or not he would get the trip, but he did win his beginners chase over two mile one at Galway. He even looked better suited there over that trip and he has got a great turn of foot. He is only coming back now to what I thought he once was.

Andrew gave him a super ride and he was really impressive. I liked him a lot but he got hurt badly a few years ago and fractured a joint. I never thought he'd come back to his full potential but he looks exciting again now. He's been quite busy during the summer and might go for something in a few weeks' time, perhaps the Grade 3 (Buck House) two and a quarter mile novice chase at Punchestown (October 17).

I think he's a nice horse . I hope so anyway. I'm delighted with him, although he was getting weight and that played into our hands. To say I was surprised that he got beaten at Limerick (2nd to Stephanie Kate at Christmas) would be an understatement.
