After race at Bellewstown Thu, 18th Aug, 2011 (1st)

We've been a long-time waiting for that. He's been unlucky and was on the wrong side of a few narrow verdicts,. He also bumped into some good horses. It's the first time he's started to settle so we can go three miles with him now. He was doing too much in his races. After that we have a lot of options. He might take in a novice hurdle with a view to going chasing soon.
