Sat, 19th Sep, 2026  We thought he had improved a bit at home, he improved for the experience. You are always a little bit worried about going against handicappers. It was only his third run over hurdles. He's a game little fella and he takes his racing really well. He loves the game. I’m delighted with that and nice to get a winner at Navan as well, near home. I don't think he wants it too soft. We were talking the other day about maybe going to Cheltenham in October to see what is there for him. I think there is a race for him on the Friday. The ground at the October meeting could suit, and we want nice ground. Might be worth a trip over. I'll see what David (L'Estrange, owner) says. He's a cracking horse and I wish I had a few more like him. E Buckley

After race at Ballinrobe Tue, 21st Jul, 2026 (1st)  His form claims were outstanding and he was the best horse in the race, so I played it safe and took no chances,. He travelled well and just idled a bit in front. I think two miles is a good trip for now, but he settles lovely and two and a half should be okay too, in time. We pre-trained him before he went to John McConnell and when he went to the sales, we recommended him to David (L'Estrange) who bought him (for £30,000). E Buckley
