I was gutted when this meeting was cancelled a month ago, and that was the reason why! It’s great to have somewhere to go with these horses. It’s for horses rated 109 or less over hurdles, and they are very important for me and my owners. Without this race I’d have to race against maybe a 150 horse. It’s great that HRI are putting on more of these races and, if they put on more, then I can keep more owners in the game. I’m delighted for Billy Kelly, Noel Egan and Willie Carey, who bred him. He got injured twice and missed two years with tendons. The boys had the courage to bring him back and the patience to wait. He was a very promising big horse and is just hard to mind the legs. Hopefully the handicapper gives him a chance as he’s ten-year-old now. My other horse (Mister Butler) was not out of it. He came in the corner of my eye, and hopefully we will have a day with him.

He's always threatened to do that. His run at Christmas was very good behind Pylonthepressure,. Maybe he should have won his bumper, but we were putting him down for a stayer, just because he was second in a point. He's built like, and travels like a stayer. He actually has the gears for two though. Some of those bumpers you need to be a two and a half mile, or three mile horse at this time of year. After the last day-over two miles six here-I said lads (owners, the Clashbeg Syndicate) there's nothing that happened other than that he didn't stay. Two to two and a half miles and chasing will be his game. He's built for that. We won't knock him about this year, he might have one more run, maybe at Fairyhouse. It'll be all about chasing next year. He's a big horse and I wouldn't run him on quick ground.
