He got his head in front the last day and he was a decent horse in his day and obviously he's starting to rekindle that form. He could creep back up to that now (a mark in the 90s). Johnny's horses have been in cracking form all season and hopefully they stay like that. He only won a nose in a lesser grade and he was more impressive today in a better race. It just goes to show it was a confidence boost for him the last day. He has progressed again. J P Murtagh

After race at Curragh Sat, 9th Jun, 2018 (1st)  I was reading the card beforehand and it said 'was a solid handicapper at one stage' so I didn't know what I was doing with him,. It just hadn't fallen right for him all year, and the last couple of years, but we've always thought he was capable of much better than he was showing. He works well at home but he just hasn't got it together on the track but he did today. His good runs in England were on good tracks so maybe he likes good tracks but it's just hard to get races for him on these better tracks. He's won now and hopefully can move up the ranks because at one stage he was rated a lot better than he is today. He's a good horse to have at home. He works with the two-year-olds and gives you a good guide on how you are getting on. Hopefully he pays his way now between now and the end of the year. I think that's a good trip for him and it looks like he gets seven. Valerie Keatley, the head girl, rides him the whole time and says he'll have no problem getting seven. He breaks quick, had got good early speed, and he toughs it out on the front rank so six is ideal. J P Murtagh
