He's learning on the job and today was probably the best he's ever settled. He raced in the middle of them and would have learned a lot. He'd a nice run at Punchestown. I didn't really want to go two mile-six (furlongs) with him but we've another runner in the bumper and Cian won't be available in the next few weeks with the 15 (winners) or less races. He takes no work and that's one thing we've learned about him. He'll have a break now and, if he's not sold, we'll think about Galway or we might wait a bit longer into the autumn.
