He’s a good horse and Jack said he’s so straightforward,. We thought he needed two and a half miles and that’s why we were making every post a winning post. Jack said he could go two and a half but he’s got so much boot and is so relaxed that everything is very easy to him. He looks exciting and you’d like his attitude. We wanted to get today out of the way first and I just loved the way he jumped. Jack said he was so professional over the last two.

I am lucky to be in the position I am in with the horses that I have and the staff and the owners and the jockeys. It is not easy to do it (six winners on a card) so it is a brilliant day.

He's a lovely horse. We ended yesterday well and today. All the horses that handled the ground ran well today. We were second and third in the Irish National and they are running well. It's all about the future with these young horses.

He's good. We thought he was a fair horse and were disappointed that he got beaten in his bumper but he came on plenty from that. He's not going to be a horse until next year really. Whatever he does this year is only going to be a bonus. He obviously can't go to the Cheltenham bumper because he ran in a hurdle race. We'll probably go to Fairyhouse or Punchestown. We like him.
