After race at Limerick Wed, 10th Jun, 2026 (1st)

He had recent form on ground which wasn't ideal and over distances which were too short, and I've been waiting for today's ground for a while.

After race at Dundalk Wed, 26th Nov, 2025 (1st)

He did that well and Julian was happy with him. We have had him up here a few times and he has worked well, so we were happy with him coming here. I was worried about the weight and I was kind of worried about the mile, but Julian said he actually liked it. Long may it continue (association with Pietropaolo), he's value I think and he is definitely an up-and-coming jockey. The plan was to give him the run today and then he is going to have to get a break at some stage. We'll have to reassess and he could back here in January, I won't rule it out.
