He had a wide draw and we thought we weren't going to win being six wide, so he kicked on and went forward. He's a very genuine horse. Wesley is a Limerick man like myself so I have to look after him! He gave him a lovely ride, exactly what we discussed beforehand. The horse can get caught for a turn of speed so he let him stride on early and it all worked out well. I thought maybe a furlong out or more he was going to get chinned and Wesley said the same but he stuck the head down and he was good and honest. I'd say we will probably try a bit of hurdling with him. He had a mid-winter break so he is ready to go on better ground over hurdles. He won over hurdles before last season so we will give it a go again this season.

He started off here a few years ago and had a few nice runs. It’s the first time we’ve brought him back since.

He's a lovely horse. He's been caught on the line three times, once on the Flat and twice over hurdles, so he's due a win,. He probably appreciated the better ground. He was second a couple of times on soft and heavy ground. We'll probably head on to Galway for a winners four-year-old race there. It suits well although I'm sure there will probably be a few pop up out of the woodwork, maybe horses that were in Cheltenham and things like that, but hopefully he'll have a shout going there.
