Leopardstown Sun, 1st Feb, 2026  Kaid D'authie He’s always a horse that showed me a lot at home. I’d think just putting cheekpieces on him today has made a huge difference. It’s bringing out the sort of ability that he shows me at home. He’s a horse that’s always been disappointing to me, on the racetrack. The cheekpieces just made a big difference to him. Mark said he only made one bit of a mistake, at the third last, but he said otherwise he was foot perfect.

Cork Sun, 2nd Nov, 2025  King In Love at Fairyhouse last April, something happened him at the second hurdle where he was pulled up. It appeared he was injured and a screen went up around him, but thankfully he was ok although he became a bit frightened. The ground was too good for him at Listowel the last day and I was delighted to see the dig in the ground today. He has some toe on soft ground which he doesn’t have on good. We’ll keep him over hurdles for now but he’ll jump a fence in time. Sean (O’Keeffe) is riding well and is a good jockey.
