Clonmel Thu, 26th Feb, 2026  Brown Boots The betting was a lot more confident than I was, so there was pressure!. He is a nice horse who is coming the right way and won nicely in Navan, with the runner-up being just beaten at Fairyhouse the other day. He hadn't that many fences jumped going to Navan, but he jumped very well and it takes a bit of winning there. That is testing ground today, but he seemed to handle it away. He was well-in and I'm delighted it has come off. We'll work away with him now in both codes and he is a nice, solid type of horse. His owner John Murray, from Shinrone, is a good supporter of mine and was involved with Snugsborough Benny with me in the past.
