He was brave and did it well. Sean was excellent on him and he never missed a beat. I thought he was beat turning for home, but Sean switched him to the inside and he stayed on well after the last,. He’s looking amazing at the minute and when he hits a bit of form he seems to keep it. His last four runs have been very good. Just before the lockdown, the horses weren’t quite right but they are healthier now and starting to run to form. He’s in again at Gowran and Limerick during the week but he doesn’t usually bounce back that well running quick. We’ll see how he is after that. He was four and a half kilos heavier today than he was when he won at Tipperary, so I was thinking he was getting too fat. I don’t train him too hard — I made that mistake before. When you train him hard and try to gallop the weight off him then he goes back ways. Ronan M P McNally, trainer
