After race at Listowel Sat, 24th Sep, 2022 (1st)
he had a good win over two miles under Neil Ryan at Sligo and on his last two runs he was slowly away but was getting home really well. He was finishing out his races fairly well so I thought the step up to 2m4f would work. He won here this day last year as well so that gave us confidence he'd handle the track and he is a grand horse. He will be a nicer horse over a fence as he has gone a little lairy over hurdles - he got there easy enough but was running around in front. He could go over fences soon enough. Gavin O'Toole runs the syndicate for friends and relations from Confey, Leixlip — they're staying down so will definitely celebrate.

He wasn’t right after his Punchestown run and we gave him plenty of time to come back here. There’s a great (Dexys Midnight Runners) syndicate involved in him. A lot of them are from Leixlip and Neil (Ryan) is good friends with them. It’s great that he got the spin and ended up winning on him. I’d say they’ll have a bit of craic tonight. They went a good gallop there and turned it into a test of stamina. Being out wide on the better ground probably helped him as well. He’ll definitely be better when we step him up in trip and he’ll probably go for one of the two mile-five handicaps at Galway. He’s a nice horse and he’ll be even better over a fence.
