he was very consistent on the Flat last year and signed off with a good performance at Leopardstown. He’s been very consistent over hurdles as well and is a very likeable horse. They fancied him a bit the last day but the ground went a bit too slow at Killarney.

That was more like it. I don't know what happened him in the north (Down Royal), he got a fright at the first and then his jumping just got worse and worse. In fairness to the horse he probably wasn't at his best either. Between the north and Leopardstown the last day he was a different horse, he bolted in last time. Maybe it was being in front but my horses weren't right for a lot of the time during the summer but he was running well even when they weren't right. He jumps well and there is no reason he can't compete with them in the better juvenile races. He has an engine and he stays well, for three-year-old hurdling that's what you want.

That was amazing. He’s been running all year with blinkers and cheek-pieces but we took everything off today and maybe he’s better off without them,. I don’t know why he seemed to be so much better today. He picked up and quickened very well. Going even further will probably suit him better. I’d imagine he’ll try jumping again. He’s basically a summer horse so he’ll have a break over the winter.
