After race at Bellewstown Wed, 30th Sep, 2026 (1st)  He loved that ground. You'd say he shouldn't run well up here but, even on good ground, he had been running well. He would be a bit outpaced and run on from the road home. On that ground, I said, 'jump out to go hard and if anything wants to take it off you, fine'. All his wins have been with plenty of dig in the ground. He's in on Sunday in the Curragh and if the ground is soft, we will probably have to take our chance. He has won twice there. T G McCourt

After race at Curragh Sun, 15th Mar, 2026 (1st)  we thought he’d run well, we had a nice bit of work done with him and he acts on that ground. We were in two minds whether to claim off him but took (Tormey’s) 7lb off, as he hadn’t dropped since his last win. He’s a right old money spinner and an ease in the ground is important. T G McCourt

After race at Curragh Sat, 4th Oct, 2025 (1st)  It was just the ground. He won last year at Cork on slow ground and was second in Naas. He ran well here at the beginning of the year but we just haven’t had that ground all year. We gave him a try at Dundalk. He ran well the first day but I’d say he mightn’t have let himself down last week. There is a big difference on that ground. I think there might be something else back here for him, whatever there is on soft we’ll try and keep going anyway. It’s just a pity that he’s that bit ground dependant. He’s very effective on that.

After race at Cork Tue, 1st Oct, 2024 (1st)  He was bought for €4,000 in Goffs (September 2023) and, from day one, was always lovely, although was a bit of a shell so was always going to fill up. He showed up plenty and while he initially had a lovely mark, I ran him in a maiden in Bellewstown and he almost ran too well. I was giving out to the handicapper but, as usual, he was proved right again. If the ground stays reasonable he'll run in the Birdcatcher and while he gallops like a horse who would appreciate a 'dig', I'm not sure if he is strong enough to handle it yet. Stephen Sweeney, from Ardee, bought into him recently and is also involved in Rampage. I bought five in Fairyhouse last week and the dearest was €6,000 so hopefully we can sneak a nice one out of them. I don't have owners for them but hope to later in the year and those are all qualified for the auction series races. T G McCourt
