"He deserved that. I think he has been second four or five times this year,” said Hennessy.

“Unfortunately he got the better of Jack Kennedy on Monday at Downpatrick and the ground went against him there too. We said we'd give him a chance on the good ground here today.

“It's great for the horse, he is absolutely loving racing at the moment. I have never seen a horse to get better as he gets really older.

"We will just tip away with him over fences now. The handicapper kind of has him over hurdles, and we'll see what he does with him now. As long as the ground stays good we will keep tipping away with him.

"It's great for the lads who own him, he is after winning nine races for them now. He is a great syndicate horse."
