Cork Sun, 14th Jun, 2026  Hambelton He is a huge, huge horse. He is like a point-to-pointer and is a typical Ghaiyyath. He is brilliantly behaved at home, a child would ride him, but he likes to get on with the job at the racecourse. To be fair to him, that's the first time he has ever stepped foot on good ground and that is what he has been crying out for. The ground came up too soft for him at Haydock the last day and I think he is a very nice horse who will progress a lot. He'll be sold later in the year and could be a lovely horse for someone for next year.

Dundalk Tue, 26th May, 2026  Jamestown We gave him a big chance in Haydock, I thought he had a big chance. The draw wasn't kind to him, but I still was looking forward to running him in Haydock. We rate him very highly. It wasn't ideal obviously going to Haydock, and coming home, and coming straight up here in this heat. It was a maiden and to be honest he needed a run at that stage anyway. He's done well today and we'll have a look. He is (a premier handicapper going forward), he could be a Britannia horse depending on his rating. We'll see where he lands, there's a few (races). He's a nice horse anyway, there's plenty of nice races for him.
