I'm so delighted he's won a Group 3 because we've always thought he was a group horse and he thrived over the winter,. The big day is back here on Champions Weekend. Sheikh Fahad is a big supporter of the day so he'll come back here for the Boomerang in the long-term. We'll keep him going because he thrives on racing. He's done nothing but improve since he came back from England. It was similar last year when he ran at Ascot and came back and won at the Curragh. We'll keep him going in those Group 3s and Group 2s but the big day is Quipco Irish Champions Weekend for him. We put the blinkers on him because the last day he ran a little bit lazily although maybe Epsom didn't suit him. He likes Leopardstown. That's the first ride Chris has had for me. Five years he's been annoying me for rides and then I give him my best horse! J P Murtagh, trainer
