you'd call 18 a bad draw but not with him as he doesn't like traffic around him. If he is drawn low and misses the break, it is hard to get him going. He had won twice in Galway and hopefully will go back there. Dan (King) is super value off those weight but I don't like him doing light as he is a big lad now and is going jumping. He has finished school and with me full time for the summer and has already had hurdle rides. He is a great lad and a super worker.

That was great and Joey executed it well. We always liked this horse, from the time he ran as a two-year-old, but he's a massive big lad and he's still not the finished article. He's grown all year and he's babyish, you could see there he was very green in front. He needed to do that because he's a mile-and-a-quarter horse really. He had some hints of form, some nice runs staying on into fourth or fifth. Those three-year-old handicaps are so competitive. Today is the first day we made the running on him and it's been the making of him. Joey did a very good job on him and Joe Doyle deserves a lot of credit as well as he made the horse. He was very hard work when he came, he wasn't an easy ride, and Joe rides him every day and settles him. We needed to take a few pounds off him today and it's a team effort. We've schooled him over hurdles as well but we probably won't go that route this year. We'll let him mature first.
