After race at Punchestown Tue, 25th Apr, 2017 (1st) 
That was great. He's a lucky horse to be here at all because last year he got brought down and his sinus and all that part of his nose was broken,. He was going well but got an awful fall. He didn't just slip up, a horse kicked him in the head as well. They did a great job to get him back. I'm very happy with him. He has a great cruising speed but it takes a lot to put it together. He'd often be going well and land on top of a hurdle and it would be all over. It's nice when it comes together once. He was a great horse (as a novice) but his jumping let him down. His jumping left him down at Cheltenham that year, when he was beaten ten lengths by Vautour, he nearly ended up out in the carpark. He just needs everything to go right for him. Jumping has always been a problem but it was good today.

I'm delighted as that's my first winner at the Curragh; I've gone close before and been beaten heads and necks, and I thought it would never come. We'll try and find something similar, and stick to the flat for the time being.

I'm delighted to get it as things didn't go right for him over fences and he ended up clouting them and was similar over hurdles.
