After race at Leopardstown Fri, 27th Dec, 2013 (1st)

He goes really well for Bryan, he suits the horse so well and you could see half way down the back straight that he was going well. It was a great performance and he jumped absolutely super. I should never have run him at Wetherby, it was a cock-up on my behalf. He worked twelve days before that at Tipperary with Flemenstar, he did far too much there and left his race behind him. He is a much better horse going left-handed. The Topham was in my mind beforehand but he will probably be too high in the handicap now, and we will have to think about the likes of the Ryanair or maybe even the Queen Mother if the ground was soft.

A J Martin

After race at Down Royal Fri, 2nd Nov, 2012 (1st)

he needed the run at Listowel and it was very heavy there. He is a good horse and is stronger and better this year. He's a really good moving horse and would like better ground. He'll have one more run before Christmas - probably in three weeks time.
