Bryan took his time and gave him a great ride. I knew he was in good order and if the ground was better I would have fancied him big time,. He's a lovely horse to have. The last day at Galway probably just came a bit soon as it was only a few days after he had a hard race here.

Mark gave him a great ride. His experience stood to him there. He's after running in a couple of chases and he's been very consistent. I'm delighted with that now. He was wandering around a little bit but his jumping was brilliant. It was his jumping that won it for him. He stuck at it well. It was great to get a Galway winner. I'm just trying to take it all in.
