After race at Punchestown Sun, 12th Jan, 2025 (1st)
We know he can jump but he didn’t jump well today because I couldn’t let him. He had to dig in then off the bend on tacky ground in the straight. He had to find plenty, it’s hard to be impressive on that ground but at least he won. He’ll have to build on it but I think he will. He has gears and on that ground it’s hard to use gears to the best effect. I’d say a stronger run race on looser ground, wetter ground even, would be a help to him. The engine is massive. After half a mile I thought this horse can’t win on his first run in six months when he’s pulling like that on heavy ground. Because he was keen Paul didn’t want to let him jump and he didn’t jump, so he’d every reason to get beaten and still won. It looked to me like he took a blow after the second-last and you could see Paul went down and gave him a squeeze and came with a run down to the last. He kept everything tight down to the last and there should be a lot of improvement there. I think in a faster run race, being let jump, he’ll improve. Paul couldn’t let him jump today because he would have been even keener and jumping his way to the front. I wouldn’t be worried about his jumping in a stronger run race. I think he’s probably had a hard race today and I wouldn’t be surprised if he went straight to Cheltenham.
