Thu, 26th Feb, 2026  The betting was a lot more confident than I was, so there was pressure!. He is a nice horse who is coming the right way and won nicely in Navan, with the runner-up being just beaten at Fairyhouse the other day. He hadn't that many fences jumped going to Navan, but he jumped very well and it takes a bit of winning there. That is testing ground today, but he seemed to handle it away. He was well-in and I'm delighted it has come off. We'll work away with him now over both codes and he is a nice solid type of horse. His owner John Murray, from Shinrone, is a good supporter of mine and was involved with Snugsborough Benny with me in the past. Liam P Cusack

Sat, 17th Jan, 2026  It is a staying family, his (half) brother Ballygrifincottage was fourth in an Albert Bartlett (2022). To be honest now, first run in a handicap, first run over fences, you are always nervous. The main thing is to get around. Probably wasn't a wonderful race and Brian was very happy with the way he jumped; he said he jumped super. It was nice to get it, and he is a nice horse going forward. Yes (unexposed) and hopefully (bit of scope). He surprised me now because I walked it (ground) and I thought it was horrible enough but look he handled it and I'm happy with his jumping. Brian is a very good lad and he works hard. He's a good team player. Liam P Cusack
