We've had a great week thank god! I was a bit worried pulling him out again after he ran over four miles here on Thursday. He did it so easy and I'm delighted for Nina, Drombeag ran a cracker too. We're thinking of going to France, there are running a new cross-country series on the 13th of May. The race is over four and a half miles and is worth one hundred and twelve thousand. He likes good ground and L'Ami maybe considered for the race too. E Bolger, trainer
