he's very laidback and even today out of the stalls he was a slow learner and Ronan (Whelan) said he had to bustle him along to get him travelling. He could be a typical one of his Highness', a slow maturing horse, he has a beautiful nature and the penny is only starting to drop with him. He's probably a horse to keep improving and I was impressed with him today - I'd say he is a very smart horse. His first run in Naas he ran well and then I took him to Navan and I thought he'd run a big race and . He got lost the second day at Navan when they went fast and they didn't stop but we went to Gowran and it was more like I was hoping he would do and he has improved from Gowran. He is a strong individual, just does the minimum at home and minds himself. He's an ideal racehorse with a great mind and the way he did that, I'll bide my time and see. I like them when they start going forward at this time of year. M Halford, trainer
