After race at Dundalk Fri, 25th Mar, 2011 (1st) 
He did it well and Paul gave him a brilliant ride. I bought him at Newmarket last October (for 4,500 guineas out of Richard Faheys). He'd been working well at home and his skin and physique have improved since we've got him. He didn't take to hurdles last time but that's not to say that he won't go back at that game at some stage.
