After race at Curragh Sun, 22nd May, 2016 (1st)

it's good that he's won and Ryan gave him a very good ride. He thought that trip was maybe about right for him and he doesn't want to be in front too soon. He has plenty of ability and is a horse that could start to progress now. It took time with him for the penny to drop.
