That was a brilliant ride and Shane deserved it. He's with us but we have plenty of lads and he doesn't get a lot of opportunities. He's a very talented rider though. He won on him before and I spoke to the owner about putting him on him tonight. He needed a win so hopefully that'll help him. This horse is gutsy and rallied well. We tried him on grass but he didn't like it.

After race at Dundalk Fri, 28th Feb, 2014 (1st)

He stayed on well the last day over a mile so it was worth trying the step up in trip and it worked out well. It's no more than the horse or the owner deserves as they put a lot in.

He did it well. It was a bit tight and we had to wait for the gap to appear. That's his grade and trip. He carries weight well and we'll keep him going here. Shane's riding well and he knows him very well,. so

It opened up nicely for him down the inside. That's his level and trip. His owner, Paul Rooney is from Castlewellan in County Down and he loves having runners here and he's been exceptionally patient with this fellow.

He's shown a bit of form up here in the past,.
