After race at Gowran Park Fri, 4th Oct, 2019 (1st)

He’s improving all the time and there is a chance he could run at Cheltenham in a four-year-old hurdle later this month,

Peter Fahey

After race at Listowel Tue, 10th Sep, 2019 (1st)

He ran a cracker on his first race at Leopardstown and the form has worked out well. He might go for a winners’ bumper if the ground stays nice as he’s not a real winter horse. He did nothing wrong in his two runs and we brought him back from the Cheltenham Sales as we weren’t getting what we thought for him. We gave him a break and were aiming him for Galway but he just wasn’t right. He’s turned the corner in the last few weeks, and it’s great for Fergal O’Neill of Direct Bloodstock who has a lot of horses with us.
