Cork Sat, 11th May, 2024  Master Otis He had form in bumpers last year, learned his trade and is a lot stronger horse now. He were hoping he'd win in Fairyhouse but a horse ran out through a wing which upset him and he nearly fell at the second-last - only for that he'd have been a lot closer,. He has been working very well since Fairyhouse and my horses are an awful lot better now and the yard is in better form now. Sean Flanagan is great to have and gave him a lovely ride. I'd say he'll handle any ground, we told the owner to have a few pounds on so thank God it worked out.

Cork Fri, 26th Apr, 2024  Solar Drive He is a grand horse and obviously Dundalk didn't suit him. I was hoping to go to Tipperary for a 1m1f race but it was called off so then had nowhere else to run. I came here and luckily he stayed (the distance) although I don't like running them from out of the handicap.

Bellewstown Wed, 24th Apr, 2024  Pinot Gris Absolutely (kept it simple off the front) and cheekpieces helped him as well as he races a little bit lazily. A little bit nicer ground helped as well, it was very deep ground the last day (in Cork). I'm not saying he needs good ground, but deep winter ground is probably a little too much for him.
