After race at Navan Sat, 21st Mar, 2026 (1st)  I thought the last run (fifth at Gowran) was a lovely run in a Listed handicap. . Eoin Walsh and Eoghan Finegan ride for me,and Eoin looked after him that day, but we felt we had to claim off him today. . The young man did a lovely job and I'm very pleased with the ride he gave him. . The horse hit the line well and he handles that ground well. Jumped adequately and he is still going to improve in that department. He is a late developer. He's doing very little wrong which is lovely. Ciaran Murphy

After race at Clonmel Thu, 27th Feb, 2025 (1st)  It is lovely to follow up and we said we'd wait for this race as he handles that ground,. I wasn't enamoured with the two hurdles being taken out up the home straight, as jumping is his forte. He got it done though and while he got a lovely run around in front, company is good for him. I don't know how much more is in the locker but he is improving away. There is a rated beginners' chase back here in a month and we have half-an-eye on that. It is very good for the owner/breeder Pat McCormack who is a good supporter of mine and I'm delighted for him. Ciaran Murphy

After race at Limerick Tue, 28th Jan, 2025 (1st)  He is a grand horse, has met a few nice types along the way and I know he is six, but has strengthened this year and has taken time. The form of his recent runs has worked out and today was his day. We'll have fun with him and I don't think the handicapper will punish us too much so we'll try and win another hurdle before going over fences. He is owned by his breeder Pat McCormack, who is local and very loyal to us. He also has Soldante with me and I'm thrilled for him. Ciaran Murphy
