Gowran Park Wed, 23rd Apr, 2025  Spring Evening He had a very good run in the first three-year-old hurdle two years ago and then ran back on the Flat and missed over a year through injury. He’d two runs over hurdles in the winter, but it was proper deep heavy ground, and he didn’t go on it. I know it’s heavy there today, but it’s not winter jumping ground. He’s always had ability, but has had niggles and missed plenty of time. He’s always worked well and maybe having time off helped him as he’s big and backward. He may be a nice dual-purpose horse, but doesn’t want any worse than yielding to soft jumping ground.

Naas Sun, 23rd Mar, 2025  Hurricane Ivor When he’s on song he’s on song!. He worked really well the other day up Walsh’s Hill (at the Curragh). Scott rode him and he tanked up there. I had no idea, I thought the ground was maybe a bit heavy for him but when he’s in a going mood like that he’s very strong. He loves bossing it. When he won last year on the Curragh, actually on good ground, Shane let him just roll along. As he’s got older seven furlongs seems to be no problem and he might go a mile. He’s such a cool dude. On that ground if you get away they can’t make up ground on you. He just loved it and Scott said the more he pulled out of him the more he wanted to run away with him. He’s a character. He’s been some servant to Fiona (Carmichael).
