Thu, 16th Jul, 2026  That was very good. He’s probably well handicapped on his Flat form and he’s starting to come together,. Donagh was very good on him. He used to be very keen but he’s starting to settle now. We gave him a bit of a break as we were aiming for Galway with him. There is a nice race there on the Saturday, it’s kind of the consolation race for the Galway Hurdle. We had this in mind as it was good timing. He’ll probably come on a little bit for the run, I’d say he got a bit tired there. They put plenty of water on and it’s lovely safe ground. I’m delighted for John (Rowney), he’s a great supporter of ours. I think he’s going to be a nice horse back on the Flat as well. He did it well today and he’s starting to learn. Once he settles he should start to show his ability. He has plenty of pace so I think Galway could suit him. They go hard there and he’ll have the pace, I hope, and the tactical speed to travel.

After race at Downpatrick Sun, 29th Mar, 2026 (1st)  I suppose the ground has been against him over hurdles, he was keen and took a few runs to get going and just settle. I think he was getting his tongue over the bit, so it wasn't the case that he was nervous and I had the tongue-tie on him but he has no wind problems. I know this track well and had a good mare, Hidden Land, who was keen and here suits those type of horses. You can let them roll and they get a breather up the hill. Hopefully, he will show his potential as he had good form in Germany and actually finished seventh in a German Derby (of 20 runners in 2023). He is just a work in progress and, on better ground he can mix it between Flat and hurdles. He had run in a couple of schooling races and we were hoping that the track and better ground could bring out improvement. Donagh gave him a lovely ride and it worked out. Hopefully, he can be a nice horse who can progress and he could be competitive in some of those nice (Flat) handicaps, so we could bring to England. We wanted to get that winner on the board because we weren't busy last winter. Andrew Kinirons
