After race at Limerick Sat, 11th Jun, 2016 (1st)

This is a grand horse but was disappointing on his comeback run. My horses had been running flat though and we did every test but everything came back clean. They had been working as well as ever but were just running bad. I'd like to run him (Afatcat) over the fences at Liverpool some time in a race like the Topham.

After race at Galway Wed, 9th Sep, 2015 (1st)

The summer has been frustrating for him but it's nobody's fault it rains! It's hard to predict and Paul Townend said he'd have won his last three if he had his ground. It was more his ground today and Donagh gave him a cool ride, and almost too cool in fact, as I thought he had overdone it coming down the hill. He's a chaser and would be well suited to a flat track like Liverpool, over two miles.

After race at Clonmel Fri, 13th Jun, 2014 (1st)

When I got him first I thought he would be more of handicapper. We bought him out of Shark Hanlon's to go chasing. He turned in travelling well here in April and the ground just stopped him. He liked the good ground today. He loves fences and he has been schooling over bales and the stone walls of Galway and they have given him a great respect for fences.

I was with Eddie Lynam for the summer riding work and finished up there a few weeks ago. Gary Cribbin is booking my rides now and I'll ride for whoever I can. Chris is riding out with me but I couldn't get my head around the fact that he was still claiming 7lb. He's only one more winner left before his claim is reduced. He schooled him the other day and knowing a horse is almost worth another 7lb. I've schooled him myself over fences and he jumps like a cat. I view him as a chaser.
