After race at Limerick Sun, 7th Nov, 2010 (1st)

He did it well and he might have a break now and go for a staying chase around Christmas. The Paddy Power would be a possibility if he got in there off a light weight.

Eoin Doyle

After race at Thurles Thu, 21st Oct, 2010 (1st)

He needs three miles and is probably better over fences as he jumps well,. He's had four runs quickly and will have a little break before coming back in December, maybe just before Christmas. We'll see what the handicapper does but he could go for another staying handicap chase. He's also rated around 100 over hurdles so could go back hurdling and we'll mix it with him.

Eoin Doyle

After race at Kilbeggan Fri, 3rd Sep, 2010 (1st)

He's going to be a grand staying chaser. He was on his head the whole way. He needs further and a galloping track,. It was his first run over fences and he jumped a little bit carefully but it's an easy place to start them off over fences. He might go to Listowel and we'll look for something over a little bit further for him.

Eoin Doyle

After race at Clonmel Sun, 27th Sep, 2009 (1st)

Nina (Carberry) said it was a bonus to win a bumper with For A Finish, as he is a real chasing in the making.
