I only have the horse about three weeks. I bought him off Donal Commins and I always thought five furlongs was his trip. He battled it out well in the last furlong and should improve again from that. He loved the ground and has won at Dundalk as well. I was a bit worried drawn 13 today but he jumped out well and Colin gave him a great ride.

We ran him over a mile-and-one the last day (led until 2f out at Gowran) and it was just too much, he blew up. He didn't break as well today but Seamie got him up there and gave him a great ride. When he hit the front he plugged on and stayed there. We're very happy with him. That's definitely his trip. With the way he's bred (by the Nayef horse Valirann) we thought he'd maybe get a two mile hurdle but he's too keen. His mother won over a mile so that's why we went for the one-mile-one race last time. He just couldn't stay. He's found his place now, at the right weight and the right level.
