After race at Galway Fri, 2nd Aug, 2024 (1st) 
I'm delighted, he hasn't run for over a year and it's great to get him back. Those conditions races are great for him. We were thinking of putting him in the amateur handicap but when he was qualified for this we decided to wait for now. I've had him ready to run for about the last six weeks but every time the ground came up too quick for him so I took him out. He just needs a little bit of an ease in the ground now in his old age. He wasn't stopping there and he'll go two miles no problem. We could have a look at the Cesarewitch and maybe the English Cesarewitch as well.
