After race at Fairyhouse Sat, 15th Dec, 2018 (1st)

He was the best horse in the race there and that made it a lot easier for him as I didn't have to ask him a whole lot. I was delighted to get the ride. It's nice to get on a horse like him as he has plenty of ability. I knew if he got round he'd win. Keith gave him a great ride and he jumped very well.

Gordon Elliott

After race at Punchestown Wed, 18th Oct, 2017 (1st)

he's a nice horse and we'll have to see where we go from here but he has a nice engine. We'll see where the lads want to go but he's going to have to improve a lot to be thinking about going that (Champion Hurdle) way. Once he's ok in the morning that's the most important thing and Barry said he could jump a fence.
