Gowran Park Tue, 23rd May, 2023  Perfect Portrait She deserved to win that, she was fourth in a Group 3 at the Curragh last year so she had the form. Dylan said she has improved a lot from her first run (third over course and distance). He said a bit more cut in the ground would suit her and going up to a mile-and-a-half. She's a smart filly and she's going to get her black-type no problem. Onwards and upwards from here. Brendan Powell, representing

Punchestown Tue, 25th Apr, 2023  Bialystok I said to Danny the main thing was to get him switched off and he did that over the first three furlongs. Then he had to work his way through the field which he did and used his speed to great effect. He stayed on nicely at the end which means he’ll probably stay a bit further. His maidens were run too slow and he was just running too free. A change of tactics worked the oracle in Naas and it was much easier then coming here to ride him like that. He’s learning all the time. He might come here Saturday but probably not. He could be a Galway Hurdle horse and will go back on the Flat.

Navan Sat, 22nd Apr, 2023  Nurburgring Settled well, quickened up very well. He did (come up the hill strongly). Nice run at two, but we thought on that ground he might get a bit tired. Some of mine have just taken a run this year. I thought he might be no different, but I was impressed with how he went to the line. Looks a smart horse. Huge horse and absolutely some scope. He will be a lovely middle distance/stayer, hopefully.

Curragh Sat, 25th Mar, 2023  Razdan I ran him in Dundalk earlier in the winter and I'm not sure if it's quickened up there or if he just prefers a bit of an ease at this stage of his life. I wasn't worried about the ground today it was more the trip being on the sharp side. I'm delighted. He was fresh and well at home and I wanted to get a run into him before Fairyhouse at Easter. He'll go to Fairyhouse and possibly Punchestown and then have a break and maybe come back for Galway then. I wouldn't mind a few more like him. He's been a bit unlucky, last year the ball didn't bounce right for him. He has loads of ability and he'll win again for sure.

Naas Sun, 26th Feb, 2023  Bialystok We completely changed tactics, he has a lot of speed and I said to Paul to lock him up and don't let him out until near the last. As it was, I think he appeared in front too soon and was probably lucky to hold on in the end. It was a good tactical ride from Paul at the end of the day. I'm looking forward to going back on the Flat with him. I got him from Jean-Claude Rouget and he was very sorry to lose him. As the ground gets better in the spring time he'll find it easier to get that trip so there will be a nice race in him over hurdles as well.
