After race at Navan Sat, 22nd Jan, 2022 (1st)

It looked to be a fair mistake but he didn't lose a terrible lot of ground. I was standing at the last watching it on my phone,. He looked well handicapped on his hurdles form and ultimately he was. He's in on Tuesday at Down Royal but he might not get in as he's number eight in the ballot. If he comes out of that okay and he gets in he might run. I'm not sure, we'll see what the handicapper does.

Gavin Patrick Cromwell

After race at Naas Thu, 16th Dec, 2021 (1st)

He hadn't run since last March and he came back in a different horse,. We were happy with him and thought he'd go close today. We'll see what the handicapper does with him over hurdles and take it from there.
