He’s an amazing horse and just when you think he’s beaten he gets a bit of luck as well. He’s consistent and it’s great to have a horse like him. The kids would ride him out and he’d never show you a whole pile. He’d probably prefer good ground but he got away with that today. We’ll probably find something for him around Christmas and he’s still a novice so he could go for a novice handicap.

I think more than anything else he has started to enjoy his racing a lot more and he's probably getting confidence from getting his head in front each time. I often had horses that wouldn't show you that they were going to win at all and then the minute they win they'll go and do it again. They enjoy it and like the bit of adulation after. He started off low enough so it's great for everyone concerned that he's gone and done that. It was a great performance by the horse and jockey. Mark (Walsh) knows him so well, if you hit the front at the last with him it's curtains and he might be fifth or sixth. I'm delighted to have him because he's a pet in the yard and anyone can ride him. He's lovely to have around the place.

He keeps surprising us and wasn't as bad (idling in front) today. But you never know with him as he can actually stall quickly when he gets to the front. He thinks the race is over and doesn't know anything about the winning post!. I hadn't looked beyond today as I was thinking the ground would be gone but he (Walsh) said he handled it and it's now deep. We were lucky the rain hadn't really got into it but depending on the weather over the next few weeks, he could go again. If not, he deserves a break. I had a horse in similar colours (JP McManus) to complete a five-in-a-row, Double Seven in 2013. He was a much classier horse and won the Kilbeggan Midlands National, the Munster National and a Listed chase in those five wins before finishing third in the Aintree Grand National.

He's one of these slow burner horses. He'd show you a bit more at home than he does at the races,. We were getting a bit frustrated with him and that's why we put headgear on. It's probably his first time on really nice ground and on a level track where he was able to travel away more at his ease. Mark said he travelled better today than he ever did and maybe it was the fact that we rode him a little bit differently. All he does is stay. For a fine big horse by Getaway, he wants nice ground. We'll see if there is another suitable race for him like that.
