Clonmel Thu, 5th Nov, 2026 Rokanako He deserves that as he has good form in winners' bumpers. He is a brilliant jumper at home, you wouldn't get better but when something is just letting him down a small bit on the racetrack. Today he gave away a lot of ground jumping,. He is a better ground horse so we might give him a little break now and see what way the winter is. He could go to Thurles or Leopardstown for better ground, but we'll sharpen up his jumping first. He'll go on the Flat next year. Sean (Dalton) is a Tipperary man so would get more enjoyment out of today than he would at Champions Day in Leopardstown. He likes these bigger meetings and I train his horses to give him as good an experience as possible. To be fair, with what we have, we have been getting a fair run out of them and we're going well.
Thurles Thu, 8th Oct, 2026 Sunny South West He has been unlucky on a few of his recent runs and he wasn't right one day at Roscommon, but today he finally got to run over two miles. We were very confident coming here as Sean's (Dalton, owner) other horse with me, Rokanako, finished second to the favourite Teofil earlier this summer, so we had a good line on form. Rain arrived, however, so we weren't too sure, as he loves very quick ground. We'll go back jumping now and go to Cheltenham's October meeting, where Michael (Kenneally) will be able to ride him in a conditionals jockeys' race. The idea of getting Michael today was that he is very good to ride from the front, he claims 5lb and will be on board in Cheltenham too, so it ticked all the boxes.
