After race at Down Royal Wed, 17th Mar, 2021 (1st)  All the time we have had him we have never got him running on the ground he loves. He's a very good horse but at anything from two miles to two-miles-six he is just different gravy to everything else. I'll chat it over with Ray (Nicholas) - I'd nearly love to have a go at Aintree this year with him. We have to consider it. It warrants him getting an entry. Barry got off him and said 'I really enjoyed that, that has given me some buzz!'. He ran in Thurles there and ran a helluva race over just far enough for him, but the ground was desperate for him as he is just such a sweet mover. He hates going through glue. We were just waiting and hoping he would get a chance to run on the ground he loves. He has such a cruising speed and takes quite a hold. I think if you let him roll on nice ground, he shows what he is. I always felt the championship races over three mile one are just too far for him. He has too much class and speed for that. Two and a half miles is his ideal trip. D M Christie

After race at Clonmel Thu, 9th Jan, 2020 (1st)  If it had been on normal ground, I thought he'd have done that, but seeing good horses strung out today, I was very worried about it. He was very very keen when we got him and I knew if he didn't relax on that ground today, he was going to be gone in a couple of hundred yards when you'd ask for him. Rob said he relaxed and got into a lovely rhythm and for me personally, he is as good as I've had and is a proper horse. He had lots of problems when I bought him at a dispersal sale for GBP5,500 last May. He is not a slow horse either and I'll qualify him for Cheltenham. He has to be placed in another hunter chase or win an Open Point to Point so I'll go the easiest possible route I can take. D M Christie
