Thurles Sat, 20th Dec, 2025  Chichester Park We went back for a bumper to Down Royal the last day but he obviously wasn't a bumper horse,. He looked to be running a good second that day, but fizzled out. In fairness while he finished last of four then, it wasn't a bad run as he was beaten no distance. Previously he had come home well over hurdles at Listowel and maybe hurdles in front of him is what he wants. While he isn't in the top drawer, he is a nice horse and will go for a rated novice next. The owners (Lyreen Syndicate) are good loyal owners of mine for years so I'm delighted for them.
