Sat, 29th Aug, 2026  We thought he was very well handicapped at 92. Sure, you don't know until you try. You only think these things, but they don't always work out. I have him in Champions Weekend in the Northfields, but he'll probably come here for the Concorde now. Dropping him back to seven (furlongs) won't be a problem. He'll be rated 100 anyway, so I suppose handicaps are out. It's only his sixth run. His first run in Leopardstown last year, he was as green as grass. I only had him about two months. John was doing him himself at home and sent him on. He just done nothing but improve. He only won by half-a-length at Leopardstown the last day, but he could have won four. It was a comfortable half-length, an easy watch. Andrew Slattery

After race at Curragh Sat, 29th Aug, 2026 (1st)  We thought he was very well handicapped at 91. Sure, you don't know until you try. You only think these things, but they don't always work out.

Thu, 16th Jul, 2026  We held him up today, just to learn a bit. I entered him in the Galway Mile there yesterday and that's where we'll go I'd say. He's learning the whole time. He was a bit green in the Curragh and learned a good bit there. His work has improved since then, and I think he'll improve again. Hopefully he does anyway, it's only his third run. The Galway Mile is a big ask, I suppose, for an inexperienced horse, but he seems to have it. Andrew Slattery

After race at Curragh Fri, 26th Jun, 2026 (1st)  He is nice. Sam said he was in front too soon. He said he was pulling up and when the other horse came to him he kind of went on again,. I was putting it that he ran to a rating of 91 in Gowran. It was going to take a fair maiden to beat him today. He probably wants a mile-and-a-quarter as well. . John Houlihan owns him. He is a son-in-law of Pat Tallis who used to train. This horse is from the same family as that good horse they used to have, Acushladear. If anyone comes with money, he'll take it. It's hard for a four-year-old to win giving that much weight away. Andrew Slattery
