He’s a 10-year-old but hopefully he’ll improve again and the change of scenery has probably helped him a lot. I’d like to thank Michael O’Dowd (owner) for giving me the horse. I’d be hopeful that he can win another one if the handicapper is not too hard on us.

Cork Fri, 9th Jul, 2021  Heroes Of Renown It was long overdue as we always thought he was a nice horse, going back to his early days. Unfortunately he had a little blip in between with a problem with a knee and that put him on the sideline,. The ground was probably too heavy for him over the winter and he is a genuine good ground horse and had a lovely run at Listowel the last day, when it was a fact-finding mission to see was he back to where we want him. This looked a nice opportunity. I'll chat with Brian (Acheson, owner) and the plan is to go chasing sooner rather than later and I might have a look at one of the handicap hurdles at Galway.

Punchestown Sat, 29th May, 2021  Sapphire Lady That was a nice performance off a lay-off on that slow ground. She jumps well and hopefully she can build more on that. She’d have no problem going into handicaps the way she jumped there. The ground is a bit dead because it’s drying but I don’t think it’s as deep as we were expecting it to be. It’s lovely jumping ground — you’d run a winter horse on it.
