What a fun horse he is. We bought him immediately after his last run and this was the plan for a long time. We knew he was in good form coming here,. I've only two or three for the track and two of them ran this week, we mostly train point-to-pointers and breeze-up horses. It's a big team effort and I have to say thanks to all the team at home. Benny was brilliant on him and to get two in the week is brilliant for him.

That's going to leave him spot on for the Troytown and I think he's going to be competitive in it too. He's a horse that is improving and we're happy where he is now. It was his first time running over three miles but you're never afraid of running them over three miles with Denis, as he drops them in lovely and he said he was always going to win. Denis gives those horses great confidence and three miles in the Troytown, dropped in with a strong pace and ridden like that, will suit him. He's back on the right road now.

Denis was really good on him and it suited the horse. He likes good ground and if we can stick to that, there could be another chase in him. He could go back over hurdles as he has a more lenient mark. He’s a nice fun horse.

He's a nice horse and he did it well. He jumped very cleverly for him. Denis said he would be better in a better race. Barry said he will go to Killarney for a winners of one over two miles six. He has plenty of schooling done since his fall and is a brave horse.

That was a great bit of luck and hopefully both Ruby and the horse are ok,” . He'll go chasing now as he'll be a novice from March 1 until October and the bit of nice ground should help his jumping a bit.
