I thought he was the only horse in the field capable of winning a Grade 2 and the rest were handicappers. He's a bit more than a handicapper,. He's been a bit of an unlucky sort. Liam Quinlan gave him a tip top ride. He's a brave lad over a fence. He'll go to Aintree, the owner wants to go there. He'll go to a two-mile handicap, he's entitled to go there. He's a proper two mile chaser and the blinkers probably helped a bit. John Patrick Ryan, trainer
