I love the cross-country race. It was great to have the one-two and see Galvin run a great race because he will come on for it. I’m pleased for Keith who is having his best ever season, but Jack (Kennedy, injured stable jockey) is a team player and he’s here lending his support. Jack will be back on these horses when he’s passed fit to return. Both horses will now go for the Grand National.

Jack said it took him a while to get going, he said he was very sticky early until he got down over the double down the bottom,. It's a bit trickier here than it is in Cheltenham. It's hard to place a horse like him now so we said we'd see how he took to this. It's job done. The runner-up is good around here and those horses are real specialists around here. He kind of pulled up from the last home, he pricked his ears and didn't do much. He used to wear cheek-pieces over fences and I wouldn't be surprised if they were back on him again at some stage. We try to do different things with him at home, we take him away to a lot of different places to school him. He's very good around Cheltenham but he still has a bit to learn over the banks here. Jack was happy so if he's happy I'm happy. He'll probably have one run between now and Cheltenham all being well.

he could be anything and is a horse to really look forward to. The Gold Cup is the plan (for next season) and that’s where we’ll go. He was in his own rhythm the whole way, and never looked out of his own comfort zone. I haven’t given him much work since Cheltenham and just kept him hacking away. We kept it simple and it’s great for everyone in the yard as well as Davy (Russell) and for Gigginstown who are big supporters of the yard. We knew we were light on bullets this week so it’s nice to get a Grade One on the board the first day.

He was probably lucky as Ben Dundee nearly brought him down early,. Davy said he's gone very idle and he wasn't doing a whole lot from the second until after the last when he gave him a thump. He said the ground is as quick as he wanted it. He was just a bit careful early. He's a lovely horse. I put a hood on him and he's actually gone very relaxed now which is great, I'm going to leave it on him. Davy was happy enough. We were lucky Joseph's horse made a mistake at the last but Davy was happy enough that he had still plenty in the tank. I'd imagine he'll come back here (for the Dublin Racing Festival), that looks the obvious route for him. It's nice to get another Grade 1 and we're very happy. It's probably a good thing that he's settled now, to be getting three miles. He's a good horse, he was a 150 rated hurdler and he loves a battle as well. I'd imagine he'll go down the RSA Chase road.

She's a good, big, tough mare - she looks like she's a gelding. She is a good mare, I think she will be better over further and I imagine she will go to Punchestown now and I imagine we will be fighting wherever Presenting Percy (RSA Chase winner) goes, but she is a good mare. Whatever she does after this is a bonus. Gigginstown buy these big, staying chasers and all credit to Jack Kennedy, he has come here and nothing is fazing him. She is a big girl and we are lucky to have her.

We think he's a nice horse. We'll probably send him home for a month now and then have him back in to have him going early. Jumping is his game and Bryan said he'd come on from that again.
