I like him, he had a lovely run the first day and is a half-brother to a good horse (Grade 2 winner Enniscoffey Oscar),. I'm delighted with him and for the lads (Brian and Tom Groarke, part owners) who are from Meath. I'd say we'll wait to go hurdling until next season and might go for a winners' bumper. We'll talk to the boys and see what they want to do but he'll be a grand horse over a hurdle and has plenty size to jump a fence. He battled well and is a saleable horse.
