Danny Cooper recommended him from France and liked his run back in the spring. He’s a fine big horse and hopefully will continue to improve. We won’t be in any mad panic this year and it’s lovely to have Matt (Fitzgerald, owner) here and winning. Darragh said he was a bit green, but he responded when he asked him. We might look at Leopardstown at Christmas and will give him a few runs to see where we are.
