After race at Cork Sun, 31st Oct, 2021 (1st)  I was a bit worried about the ground but that is a great start. It wasn't his Derby today and I told Brian (Hayes) to teach him as much as he could. He jumps well and had schooled well at home and came through nicely. He was a bit green in front going to the last but hopefully there is plenty more in the tank,. He was rated 96 on the flat, jumps well and will get an entry for the Royal Bond. Being as slick as he is (over hurdles) is a huge asset to have with that pace and he is exciting. Emmet Mullins

After race at Galway Sat, 31st Jul, 2021 (1st)  It was a brilliant performance, especially from Wesley here in Galway around a tricky track in a big handicap like that. He was very cool on him and we're delighted. The trip (an extended mile and three furlongs) was definitely a worry but to be fair they went such a slow gallop in the two-mile the other night, and he was keen, that may as well have been a mile-and-a-half race. It was a huge pot, a great race, and if you're not in it you can't win it. That's a great big pot to get with a horse like that. The little foray to Japan is paying off in spades now!. It was only his first ever run in a handicap on Tuesday night and I'd say the experience and everything stood to him. He was actually only 2 kilos lighter coming here today so it didn't knock a funk out of him. It was always the plan to target these premier handicaps with him, the November Handicap, the Cesarewitch and the likes. He's an exciting horse going forward. Emmet Mullins

After race at Punchestown Tue, 27th Apr, 2021 (1st)  it's been a long road and it's finally paid off for me. We bought him in Japan as a foal four years ago. It was one of my crazier ideas - we bought three horses the same day, him and Fujimoto Flyer were two of them so we had a good trip. He's a tough hardy horse. We were just a little worried about the ground with the rain, being Japanese bred. Once they had a couple of races on it and had a few showers it was going to get into it. Philip was very good, I told him to take his time and drop him in and pick the best of the ground. I know Patrick (Mullins, on runner-up Hara Kiri) came wide for ground but in these four-year-old races Philip got the rail and that's a huge advantage for four-year-olds at this time of year.
