Navan Sat, 28th Feb, 2026  James du Berlais it was a good performance and I thought they went a good gallop. It is very heavy ground down the back straight and, riding this horse, I'm a hostage to fortune as I have to ride him like that. There also wasn't a whole lot left in the tank from the back of the last fence. He's a great horse, I'm delighted to win on him and really enjoy riding him. He's a really talented horse when the scenario sets up for him. He ran in a Champion Hurdle (finishing ninth in 2021) and he was second in a Topham (2024) and fifth in the race last year.

Navan Sun, 8th Feb, 2026  Rokathir I’m delighted and Roger (Brookhouse, owner) is here with his son Rob. They just got over this morning, so it is great. I was hoping he'd run well but we've obviously had a quiet run there recently, so it is nice to get a winner. He really appreciated that ground and the trip. Obviously, he is going to go up a grade I'd imagine. There's the novice handicap back here in March, so that might be one.

Limerick Sun, 28th Dec, 2025  You Proof He was good. I thought the de Bromhead horse (King’s Bucks) had fair form from a Cheltenham graded race and was going to be difficult to beat, but I travelled smooth behind him. He got the job done and ran away nicely at the finish. He’s a good horse and jumped well through the race. He was always giving me the feel that I could pick up and go. I’d say he could be a strong stayer in the spring.
