He likes it around here, the undulating track suits him, and I’m delighted for Pat (O’Leary, owner) as he puts a lot of money into it. If the weather stays dry we’ll probably get away with running him until the end of October. This is his time of the year. He loves Tramore as well and is entered there in another chase next week. We’ll see how he is in the morning and make a decision during the week.

Simon is strong and very good value for his 5lb claim. It worked out beautifully as they went hard in front and he was able to get him half switched off. He can be a difficult horse to settle. He’s a hard horse to predict. Personally, I hope he’s not claimed but if he is he is. He’s a fun horse and I wouldn’t mind having a few more of them in the yard.

It has been a long long road but he deserved it as he's been consistent,. He's just hard on himself. We've been trying to drop him in but it's not worked and Ross gave him a great ride from the front there. I'm delighted to get that bracket for him and he must like tight tracks as he won at Tramore before. He might end up back there.
