Punchestown Mon, 12th Jan, 2026  Mojoe I thought Simon was class on him. He’s not the most straightforward horse in the world, he can be on and off the bridle. When he’s free, he’s very free, and then he can be hard to get going. His jumping was a lot slicker today, I was a bit worried with it being his first handicap. I think the third-last was the only one he missed, other than that he was foot perfect. The ground probably isn’t as tacky as yesterday, so lucky enough that he was in today rather than yesterday. I’m delighted for Jim (Browne, owner), he’d be more used to the Flat than jumps. This is more of a novelty for him and it’s great to get a winner for him. We’ll see what the handicapper does now. We might have to look at a ‘120’ with him, something similar over two-and-a-half (miles).
