After race at Dundalk Fri, 19th Jan, 2018 (1st) 
He had a nice run here the last day and I'd say he came on from it, it just sharpened him a bit,. You have to credit the handicapper because he dropped him, it's a long time since he won. Sean (Corby) have him a lovely ride, he got a lovely position and was in a nice position throughout. He was able to go forward and it worked out well. We'll see what the handicapper does and there is a race back here in February, provided he comes out of it alright. It's great for the lads and fair play to them as they've stuck by him. He's had niggly problems and had a fractured splint bone.

It's great that he followed up. I was a little worried coming back after a week as he normally gets a bit of time. The fact that he didn't have a hard race helped. He was eating well and seemed in good shape. It was worth chancing as it was a good pot. He's game out and is a progressive horse. He's unlucky not to have won four in a row and seems to be getting stronger all the time. He was 24 in the ballot and just scraped in. He wouldn't have got in without the penalty. David's claim was a huge advantage and he knows the horse. We'll have to think about a nice handicap hurdle now. He's rated 64 on the Flat and I wouldn't rule that out but he certainly won't run for a while and we'll take it easy now. We'll think about Galway and there is a little race at Leopardstown in the New Year which he might sneak into the bottom of!

He's a grand little horse and is game out. I was going to go to Punchestown but thought he might not get in. If he's okay in the morning he'll get an entry for the opportunity race at Punchestown. They did a great job with the ground tonight. I walked it and it's genuine good ground and very safe.

He was declared to run at Cork, but it went soft and we thought there was no point in wasting a run with him. It worked out well and it is brilliant for the owners, the No Nama Drama Syndicate. There are 11 in it and they are all from Mount Rath.

I fancied him a bit the last day but he ran a shade flat; he didn't get the best of runs and had nothing to race with up the straight then. He travelled and battled well today when he had to. He needs to fill into himself a bit more but there are a few races for him in January.
