Punchestown Tue, 23rd Nov, 2021  Freedom To Dream On his bumper form he's a nice horse. I'm delighted for Paul (Leech), in fairness he comes over whenever all his horses run and had a first and a second today so it's great. He got a small injury which came to light in March 2020. He had run at Christmas time behind Appreciate It but then got that small injury in front. We just gave him loads of time. He's been away and had a schooling race under his belt but is open to an awful lot of improvement. He'll go on softer ground and we can up him in trip as well. This Red Mills series is a great series and Paul actually won the final last year with Surprise Package. Hopefully this lad could end up in the final. He's a gorgeous horse. He was bought completely by mistake at the sales, I was rushing in to buy a horse later on and ended up bidding on him. In fairness when I rang Paul about the horse he took him straight away. Hopefully he's lucky for him now and we'll kick on, he's a nice horse to have for the winter.

Punchestown Sun, 14th Nov, 2021  The Big Doyen I came here full of confidence. We had him in at Cheltenham and we were considering going over there for the bumper today but the bit of rain came during the week and we decided to run here. His first run was good when he was green enough and I think he’s progressed a lot at home. He’d matured and was thriving as we were going along. He’s a nice horse. He’s a horse that will be a lot better on deeper ground. The owners are from Athy and there is about ten or 15 involved. It’s great for them. He won’t run again until Cheltenham. He’s a horse that is going to progress with time.
