After race at Navan Sat, 24th Sep, 2016 (1st)

Bryan took his time and gave him a great ride. I knew he was in good order and if the ground was better I would have fancied him big time,. He's a lovely horse to have. The last day at Galway probably just came a bit soon as it was only a few days after he had a hard race here.

Matthew J Smith

After race at Dundalk Fri, 4th Dec, 2015 (1st)

He likes it around here and will come back again. He stays well, and kept at it well into that wind,.

After race at Galway Tue, 28th Jul, 2015 (1st)

Mark gave him a great ride. His experience stood to him there. He's after running in a couple of chases and he's been very consistent. I'm delighted with that now. He was wandering around a little bit but his jumping was brilliant. It was his jumping that won it for him. He stuck at it well. It was great to get a Galway winner. I'm just trying to take it all in.

Matthew J Smith

After race at Down Royal Fri, 20th Jun, 2014 (1st)

I've had him two and a half to three months. He has plenty of ability and won twice on the flat.
