Wed, 1st Apr, 2026  I suppose the handicapper gave him a good oul chance there. He ran plenty over the winter and just was falling short. He's after dropping down to a nice mark now. Nicola is a great rider and she is very strong in the likes of those races, so it is great to get her. He'll have to switch to turf with the way things are. With him, I think things just have to fall his way. He's probably not one that battles and makes things happen. He'll tip away at turf. Peter Fahey

After race at Fairyhouse Thu, 30th May, 2024 (1st)  He's just learning on the job and he's going to mature,. His future is in front of him and he's put in at a claiming price, but since the McAuleys have stopped claiming we're in a bit of no man's land!. He gets the trip and he should do a nice summer hurdling job for somebody. If he's not claimed it'll be more of the same. He needs the blinkers as he just got there and parked but, as Colin said, in his own grade he's a grand horse. G M Lyons

After race at Roscommon Mon, 20th May, 2024 (1st)  It's not before time. He wants that ground or better, he hops off it. He ran in Gowran Park the last day and it was the worst ground I've ever walked on. He actually went to win his race and stumbled on the ground because it was that bad. It's from one extreme to the other today. He got his ground and went and did it. G M Lyons
