The drop in class makes a big difference to the pace of a race and he was able to get it all together. Even with top-weight in a handicap it’s a different pace than you would have in Graded races,.

It was a satisfactory introduction and I'll be going out in trip with him now, it'll be minimum two-and-a-half for the rest of the year,. I haven't any plans made for him yet but I was happy enough with that. He jumped very well but obviously made that mistake at the second last and he got one wrong before the ditch but, by in large, I was happy with him for a first-time out novice chaser. At the second last I was happy with the way, when it looked like he was going down, he found another leg and picked himself back up.

I'm surprised and I'm delighted. I had him down as a two-mile-and-six or three mile horse. The last day he won at Naas was a mile-and-seven. I had a three-mile horse down in Cork and he got beaten so I said to myself 'now I've this fella in the wrong race over two'. It looks like I'm wrong and he's a two-miler. He has a huge cruising speed and I said to Danny 'go out and make the running, you're not making it for our other two you're making it for yourself so try and get the fractions right'. He's never fast at home but he obviously covers a huge amount of ground and can keep that gallop up for two miles flat out. Looking like that he looked like he could be a Supreme Novice horse and that was the furthest thing from my mind three weeks ago. We'll see what happens. I think this fella can stay, I think he's easy enough to ride. I always had him down as a stayer. If the owner has something else for the Supreme we can chat it out.

It was a nice positive performance from him. I think he'll want much further in trip and I'll be going out in trip with him now,. I'll probably look for a novice hurdle over two-and-a-half miles rather than two miles.
