After race at Killarney Sat, 26th Aug, 2023 (1st)  no matter what happened in the Galway Hurdle the plan was always to go chasing. Keith thinks he has a nice future over fences and hopefully he can compete at a high level. I intended going to run him in a novice chase at Wexford next week, that's how confident I was with him. The graded Kilbegnet Chase at Roscommon is an obvious target for him - I've finished second in it twice so I'm going to have a go again. E Sheehy

After race at Punchestown Sat, 13th Nov, 2021 (1st)  I think he's a graded horse, he's only 80 per cent ready. He jumps really well. He was a little bit novicey today but I wouldn't mind that as he's naturally a very good jumper. I think he's a horse with a very bright future, he'll stay a trip and I think he'll go on any ground. We'll look for a novice hurdle now somewhere. Hopefully he'll be alright in the morning, it's a long time since I had a lad as good as this so I'll have to try and mind him. He was always cantering everywhere today. I thought he'd win his bumper first time out and I was surprised he got beat but Willie (Mullins) told me his one (Belle Metal) was a jet plane and it turned out it was. He had a disappointing run after that and we gave him a break then. Hopefully it's onwards and upwards. E Sheehy
