Thurles Thu, 28th Nov, 2019  Fan De Blues He looked as big as a bull to me when I saw him with his number-cloth on and he did well to do what he did today over a short trip,. I had asked Daryl to be positive on him from the start and thought he was too positive but when he got his second wind half way down the straight he quickened nicely and passed the other one. He is a real chaser but is only four and I'll keep him as a novice hurdler and we will probably go up in trip with him as well.

Galway Sun, 27th Oct, 2019  Gran Geste He wasn't firing for me last year for whatever reason but he is in a better place this year and was fit and well. He needs soft ground so we had a nightmare year with him last year but I still didn't think he was 100% last year. He's much better this year and got a lovely ride today. We'll look for another handicap and he jumps a fence well so we'll go that way too.
