We're delighted with that. He was knocked out (lame) for 3 weeks after winning in Sligo and I thought we were in trouble to be honest but he came right and he did his first bit of work back 2 weeks ago and sure he was fairly straight anyway. Paul said he gave a blow two out there but you'd expect that. He'll go for the two and a half mile novice at Galway on the Thursday if he is okay now. He has improved an awful lot considering we couldn't even get him to finish in a point-to-point at the start. There is no reason to think that he won't improve another bit still. He'll be entered in Galway on the Monday too. Terence O'Brien, trainer
