Punchestown Mon, 16th Jan, 2023  Metamorpheus we bred him, the mare (Coral Dawn) died last year but she bred some good horses for us and his brother Sailors Warn was a Grade 1 (placed) hurdler for Edward O'Grady, so the pedigree is there for the job. She was a tough mare and breeds that into the stock - they are all tough and hardy. from the first day we schooled him, knew he was a natural. He had a smashing run in Limerick and came on from that. We'd have to consider the Boodles (at Cheltenham) or something like that for him now but will probably needs another run for experience. He's a small horse and he'll handle good ground as well. He only had one run as a two-year-old, when backward, and then was sick early last summer so we didn't get to run him. He was in all summer but just wasn't firing. As soon as we schooled him though we knew he was going to be a natural.

Fairyhouse Sun, 1st Jan, 2023  Cher Why Not he deserved that as he’s been running well all year. He’s slow but he’s tough and stays well. He was third in this race behind Ronald Pump four years ago but got an injury and missed some time. He’s shoving on in years but he still tries hard and never lets us down.
