Sun, 11th Oct, 2026  We’re delighted with him, he’s a horse that we’ve always liked,. He had a few problems last year as a three-year-old, but we got them sorted. We had to hold him for the summer because of the quick ground. The last day in Navan we expected him to run well but he got pestered on the lead and, on that ground, he just took a blow. It was the first time all year that he got that sort of a gallop on that type of ground. He came out of the box on Thursday morning bucking and lepping so we said we’d come here and take our chance with bottom weight. Thankfully it worked out. The jockey was keen to get him dropped in and get a lead on him today, because we made a bit too much use of him the last day. It was a combination of making too much use of him and the ground. He hadn’t encountered that all year, because we couldn’t get a grass gallop into him. We thought he was better than that, so were surprised he got beaten the last day. We saw that he had come on from the race and we were hopeful here today. He’s a big horse, he’s nearly 16-3, and he’ll probably jump a hurdle as well. He’s an exciting horse for the future.
