After race at Punchestown Sun, 11th Feb, 2018 (1st) 
that was a proper race and the young horse (Burning Ambition) served it up to him. He was second last year in the Fortria Chase in Navan and it was a Grade 2, so that rules him out of Cheltenham this year so we'll probably go to the Tetratema next and then on the Liverpool Foxhunters. soft ground is important to him and he's a grand horse to have.

After race at Thurles Sun, 21st Jan, 2018 (1st)
It has been a credit to everyone to keep the show on the road today and that's his ground as he suffers with his knees. He's not qualified for Cheltenham and could run in the Tetratema next and then the Joseph O'Reilly Chase so we'll keep him on the home-front this season. Things were a bit messy early on in the race today but it was grand to win another one with him and it's great to have Nina back riding over fences too. Ground might be an issue with him going back to Aintree as that's his ground and we'd like to have him around for another couple of years.

Tony has ridden a few for me but that's the first winner we've had together. It's great to win a race like this and to have that man on top. The ground was a big help, and he just wasn't right the last day and Mark Walsh looked after him. I don't know whether he'll go to Punchestown for the three mile novice or not.
