How dramatic was that?

If someone asked you as early as the first fence, which of the joint favourites you'd like to be on, the answer in the vast majority of cases would have been Mikael D'Haguenet over Mount Benbulben, for the Punchestown Gift Vouchers Beginners Chase, but the bookmakers got a 'result' with neither capturing the prize in a dramatic event.

Tue, 4th Mar, 2014

We are supplementing him for the World Hurdle as his jumping over fences just keeps letting him down. He has a lot of class though and will be interesting in the World Hurdle.

Gordon Elliott

After race at Punchestown Tue, 23rd Apr, 2013 (1st)

I think the fact that the horse didn't go to Cheltenham meant he was a fresher horse coming here. They went a stride slower in the three mile race and he was able to get into a rhythm and jump. Hopefully next year now he'll be there in all the three mile races and he'll be competitive. He's learning all the time. We always knew he was a good horse. His jumping just had to come together. Danny's done a great job and he's been down to Con Powers to school as well.

Gordon Elliott

After race at Thurles Thu, 28th Feb, 2013 (1st)

.We've always known that he's got a fair engine and it was just a matter of putting it together,.

Gordon Elliott

After race at Fairyhouse Sat, 1st Dec, 2012 (1st)

Mount Benbulben has got a right engine if we can get his jumping right. He is a bit sketchy and it was a good performance considering he was nearly on the ground (at the second fence). We'll look for something over Christmas and he's entered in the three miles Grade 1 Fort Leney Chase at Leopardstown and he'd have no trouble staying that trip.

Gordon Elliott

After race at Navan Sun, 27th Nov, 2011 (1st)

He's a nice horse and he's very tough. He's got a fair engine and going further will be no problem. We'll look for something over Christmas for him and we'll see how he comes out of this race. We wouldn't go any shorter. He stays very well. He could run here on December 18th in a Grade 1 over two-and-a-half-miles.

Gordon Elliott

After race at Thurles Thu, 3rd Nov, 2011 (1st)

It was a messy race at Galway the last day and he didn't really settle,. Paul did a good job of settling him today. He's a good horse. He'll probably go to Navan for the (Grade 2) Monksfield Novice Hurdle (27th November) and he'll probably get an entry for the Royal Bond as well. He's a proper stayer and the further he goes the better he will be.

Gordon Elliott

After race at Limerick Sun, 13th Mar, 2011 (1st)

He's improved again since Thurles. We're really delighted with him. I can't believe he did it so well. He'll probably have a break now and come back hurdling next season.
