After race at Navan Sat, 14th Nov, 2026 (1st)  He did (conjure up a good finish) - I thought maybe he was a little bit too far back. I had his half-brother (Nucky Johnson) and he had a good lot of pace as well, just like him. I thought the good-ish ground might suit him too and it did. He quickened up really well. Sometimes when you get a sprint finish like that, the lads that come last get it. I said to him, 'don't be going until you get to the last fence'. His pedigree is very good; he's related to a Group 3 winner in Italy. It is a good pedigree for speed. He was very green (in Punchestown) and he was still a bit green today too. There was a busload of people coming from my local village today and the shopkeeper said to me to write down a few tips and I didn't tip him!. I actually thought that Gordon's (Elliott, Uncle Pad ) would be very hard to beat, but he didn't run. I'd say he will probably go jumping, but we will have to talk to the owner and see what he wants.
