After race at Naas Sun, 25th Jan, 2026 (1st) 
he’s a very small horse so Luke said he might be better riding him out wider and away from other horses the last day, so Keith did the same today. He jumped great, handled the ground well and was very good, I’m delighted with him. He had run well in Leopardstown and we thought the extra two furlongs would be no burden to him.

Matt Connor battled hard although Jordan (Gainford) said the ground was as soft as he’d want it. It was a messy race with the leader (Pahlavi) going off way out in front but he winged the last. He actually jinked approaching the last but once Jordan got into him, he finished well. He had a good enough rating for the Flat and we’ll look for another goodish ground hurdle race now, but we won’t run him on heavy. There could be a nice handicap in him down the road. Adrian (Sheils) is from Birr and is also involved with Killinure Lass, who won for us at Tramore recently, so is having a good time.
