After race at Punchestown Sun, 15th Feb, 2026 (1st)  It was a nice performance. He’s still a bit green and babyish, I suppose he hasn’t had too much racing under his belt. It was nice to see when Paul ranged up, and Donagh sat down on his back, that there seemed to be plenty there. Hopefully it’s onwards and upwards. He’s a big brute and we said we’d crack on and go chasing for fear he got injured and you’d be losing a year over hurdles. This is his game, three miles and staying tests and soft ground. He fences very well for a relative novice. He has an entry in the Brown Advisory, and I think I’ve entered him in the two novice handicaps at Cheltenham as well so we’ve plenty of options. We’ll mull over Cheltenham strongly. Emmet Mullins

After race at Punchestown Fri, 2nd May, 2025 (1st)  Soldier In Milan is an exciting horse, I always thought a lot of him but he’s a big unit, so I was terrified of the ground. He’s an exciting horse for next season with a cut in the ground and should have a big future ahead of him. He was a 16-length point-to-point winner and was very impressive on the day. It’s great to get that out of the way for this season but I think there could be big things ahead of him next year. we had a treble in Cork in the past - including winning a graded chase with Cape Gentleman, but this is a great place to be advertising yourself.
