- Clive Cox

As an individual, he is clearly going to be a big strong type when he has finished growing into himself, but at this stage in his life I am very happy, he is a beautiful mover and full of quality.

Serenity Dream – a half-brother to our colt who won at Goodwood in August

He is qualified for the Tattersalls Ireland Super Auction Sales Stakes race at The Curragh. It is a race we have won in the past with Snazzy Jazzy and I am very pleased to buy horses that are qualified for this, in the hope that we can follow that same path.
