After race at Curragh Wed, 2nd Jun, 2021 (1st)
We brought him over to England (for the Swinton Handicap Hurdle at Haydock) but he didn’t travel well and we knew our fate well before the race as he didn’t eat and didn’t drink. The travelling left its mark and I was in two minds whether to run him or not here. Robbie rode him last Thursday and said he was fine. He must be a very good horse as Robbie said he was behind the bridle today but he battled really well. He said the ground was as quick as he’d want it. He’s in Listowel on Sunday but I wouldn’t think he will go. He won three bumpers in England but he got a fall over hurdles in Catterick and maybe that was just on his mind when he travelled the last day. The money in the Ebor is very tempting and maybe we could fly him over!

He's a classy horse. I'd say he is probably still learning his trade over hurdles. John (Barry) rode him the last day, he gave him a super ride and taught him plenty. He was always going to need the run in Down Royal [when fourth on St Patrick's Day] but I just thought it would suit him fine to go there and come here after. Off 97 I still think he's well handicapped on the Flat. We'll go back to the Flat now and we'll target a lot of those premier handicaps. We'll maybe target Ascot or one of those places and one of those two-mile races.

After race at Killarney Sun, 4th Oct, 2020 (1st)
The ground was probably too quick for him at Leopardstown and he needed three runs to run in the November Handicap and that's where he'll go now; he also probably needed the six or seven pounds (for winning today) to get into it. He'll go back over hurdles as well and he'll go on winter ground but maybe not on extremes. He is still learning his trade and he beat seasoned handicappers today. He is a smasher and it just makes no sense to me that he won three bumpers and I never got a phone call for him. You couldn't fault the horse at all and he's a nice one to have.

After race at Tipperary Fri, 26th Jun, 2020 (1st)
he is still a little bit green; I brought him to England for hurdles experience after winning his three bumpers but he got brought down. It was the ideal and right thing to do with him but experience-wise, he just needed a couple of runs. The reason I ran him back so quick (after winning at Limerick) was there was nothing for him for five or six weeks and we were going to get safe ground today. I don't know what it is, but my horses don't seem to go around sharp tracks so he will probably avoid Galway with him; it's all about winners and we'll go where we can get one. I can't see him getting too much for winning today and we could also nip over to England if he is allowed travel.

After race at Limerick Wed, 17th Jun, 2020 (1st)
He is a very smart horse, always was. He won three bumpers and there were plenty of horses behind him in his bumpers,. I'd have been very disappointed if he was beaten tonight and I'd say he'll mix it between flat and hurdles now. He'd go 2m4f over hurdles but he just wasn't himself over hurdles last winter, he had a bad fall and it half knocked him. He could be a proper horse on the flat.
