After race at Navan Sun, 25th Nov, 2012 (1st)

I don't think he will be a National horse as the ground is bound to be too good by then. That was a good performance by a novice. He jumps well, stays well and loves that ground. He really goes on it. I'm not sure what we will do with him now, it depends on what Noel O'Brien does. He should improve again.

D T Hughes

After race at Navan Sat, 29th Sep, 2012 (1st)

Tofino Bay was good for his first run over fences and has a little bit of class. On his hurdle form he should be good over three miles and his jumping was very accurate. We'll find a novice for him over a trip now.

D T Hughes

After race at Fairyhouse Mon, 13th Apr, 2009 (1st)

I fancied him today as he has been working really well at home and we might go for a winners bumper with him next.
