After race at Naas Sat, 15th Jan, 2011 (1st)

I'm delighted. He stays really well and a proper three miles is what he wants. Davy was always happy on him and it was a proper test today. The ground will decide a lot. He'll have an entry at Cheltenham and we'll see what happens in the meantime.

C A Murphy

After race at Clonmel Thu, 16th Dec, 2010 (1st)

He is in a couple of novices over Christmas and we'll have to see as that may come a bit too soon. He has plenty of options anyway and the further they go and the softer the ground the better for him. Thank God today's meeting went ahead.

C A Murphy

After race at Fairyhouse Sun, 4th Apr, 2010 (1st)

He did that very well. He got his conditions today three miles on soft ground. The softer the better for him. The ground will dictate his plans really, if it stays soft we'll keep him on the go or if it dries up we'll wait until the other side of the Summer.

C A Murphy

After race at Clonmel Thu, 4th Feb, 2010 (1st)

I'll try and find something similar. I would say you won't get ground soft enough or a race long enough for him,. He's a big baby and showed it today. If he improves as much as I think he can he could be a real nice horse. I'm delighted with him. He's a big raw baby and chasing is his game. He's a half-brother to Kazal and the further he got the better.
