After race at Curragh Sat, 15th Sep, 2012 (1st) 
We were waiting for ground. He got a knock in the spring and we were waiting for months for a bit of ground. He's better when fresh and he gave him a lovely ride. I thought he wasn't right coming down the hill but they were all bunched coming into the straight. It's a nice change of luck.

You always have to take someone on in races. Our main opposition was the odds-on favourite, but if you don't take them on you can't win. He will have a break now as the ground is going against him.

He deserved to win as he has been knocking on the door and going up in the handicap as a result. We'll mix it with him . here and hurdling. He likes this surface and fast ground.

We bought this fellow for €14,000 at the Dundalk Breeze Up Sale. He ran very green at Leopardstown first time out and he's still a bit raw. Keagan gave him a great ride, he's a proper rider. We will possibly go for a winner's of one now or maybe a nursery. We will see how the handicapper treats him after this.
