After race at Punchestown Tue, 30th Apr, 2024 (1st) 
It was a fantastic race, a great two-mile chase, and a fantastic ride from JJ. I'm delighted for Ronnie and everyone to have a big winner here in Punchestown,. It wasn't our day in Cheltenham but delighted to win a big race here today. He's been a fantastic horse and Ronnie's patience through the Autumn when the ground wasn't right for us was really what won the race for us today. We were ready to run and had to wait. Ronnie said to wait and when the ground comes right we'd have him for the big day. Today we had a fresh horse, it's only his third run of the season. I'm so delighted to win a big one with him, for the horse as well as Ronnie and all connections. It was fantastic ride form JJ, he saved it all for when he needed it at the back of the last. I wasn't sure when he crossed the line but as Ronnie said he was in front where he needed to be. We know what conditions the horse performs on and the form-book is pretty obvious when you look at all his runs. On better ground his runs are all very good and when it gets softer, for whatever reason, he doesn't performer as well. We took the chance at Cheltenham because it's Cheltenham but it didn't work out. We freshened him up to come here and I'm delighted to win a big race with him.

I'm delighted it's all worked out. It's unreal to ride a winner here and thank you to everyone that made this opportunity happen. Mark gave him a great ride. There was plenty of carnage in behind through the race and we managed to avoid some of the loose horses down the hill. He's very tough and I'm delighted for Ronnie who has supported me well and delighted to have a winner here.

He showed a lot before his first run and had finished second to Undersupervision in a point-to-point and he has won a novice hurdle for Nigel Twiston Davies. He got very tired on bottomless ground at Thurles so they waited on better ground today and dropped him in. Joseph said to Tom that this guy has more gears than you'd think and he has shown it today and quickened away well. It might not have been the greatest race in the world but you'd like the way he did it and he is a beautiful jumper.
