You need a bit of luck now and again!.

After race at Navan Tue, 19th Feb, 2013 (1st)

.He probably deserved that. He likes the track and is a three-mile chaser in the making,.

H Rogers

After race at Navan Sun, 18th Mar, 2012 (1st)

He deserved that as his runs have been good. A bit of time helped him as well. He'll make a nice two-and-a-half mile hurdler. I might put him away now as he's a horse that with a bit of time might get better. The young lad was very good on him. For a lightweight he was very strong and good value for the 7lb.
