Downpatrick Mon, 15th Jul, 2024  Rauzan I suppose the conditions of the race and the weights (suited). Phillip said he nearly found traffic even with four runners (hampered by faller Notkeepinyagoing). He's a horse that travels well and stays well which is a good attribute to have. He said he picked up well at the back of the last. He did it well. I've no real plan for him but we might look at Galway. He's a dual-purpose horse and he is only rated 61 on the Flat, so I might look at the Flat as well. He's definitely improving for a four-year-old. He's a horse we bought out of Mick Halford's and was well recommended by Mick, fair play to him.

Downpatrick Mon, 15th Jul, 2024  Rauzan He's been running on soft ground and probably wants a bit of better ground. He travelled well here the last day and fell at the third-last - Finny Maguire rode him and he thought he had plenty of horse left. Banking on that, we were hoping for a good run but he stayed at it well, in fairness. We did think he would run a nice race. Tramore or something like that next, maybe keep it local. It is a long way up here today, he's in Killarney on Thursday and I don't think he'll run - it's a long way from here to Killarney!. We'll see how he is and make a plan from there. I think he is a horse that will improve.
