After race at Galway Tue, 7th Oct, 2025 (1st)

He has been nothing but genuine since we got him and is one of the best in my yard. He ran well here at the festival over a shorter trip when he stayed on great and in fairness to Sean O'Keeffe (jockey then), he said to step him up half-a-mile and he was spot on. It was my fault to run him in his first handicap chase at Listowel the last day, which was too much of an ask, and he needs to be minded a bit. He came out of a ThoroughBid Sale and wasn't overly dear (£14,000), so we're delighted with him. Owen O'Connor and Martin Baker own him. Martin owns the local Burren Inn in Tubber which I probably have shares in myself at this stage!
