After race at Gowran Park Sat, 15th Feb, 2014 (1st) 
He got all messed up when he fell in the North. He broke three ribs and he had internal injuries. We had to get his confidence back too. The run the last day at Thurles worked out to be Grade 1 form (Last Instalment was third there when Argocat finished sixth). He showed plenty of resolution there after he met the last wrong. It's deep ground and none of them liked it.

I'm delighted for his owners Fitri and Doc Hay whose first Grade 2 jumps winner this is. The horse has come a long way from winning his two year old mile maiden at Newmarket to running on this type of ground over fences! He's a resolute and hardy type though. He jumped particularly well today, apart from the obvious mistake at the last, but it was good to see him get his legs out so quickly to stand up from the mistake. I don't see any benefit to running him between now and Cheltenham in March, especially on more heavy ground, and he'll probably go straight for the Jewsons Novice Chase. The reason I started him off so early over fences this year was to get some better ground for him and he'll get a little break now.

He was the highest-rated hurdler in the race and the four-year-old allowance was a great help. He's a tall horse and I always felt that he would be better over fences. He was murdered last time at the second last, but he jumped very well today.

Everything he does over hurdles is a bonus as he's a smashing horse who loves jumping. He might turn out to be a good horse in time, and it was a fair race that he finished third in the last day. He had the four-year-old's weight allowance and Brian is also good value for his 7lb claim. He'll get an entry in the Fred Winter, and is a staying four-year-old who is going the right way. Bringing him to Thurles was useful to see if he could handle the undulations.
