When I caught up with the horse in front and we faced down the back he latched on and took on his fences really well. He had a blow and will come on from it. It was nice to have another horse there as we were able to get a lead, be upsides and jump in front. He learned a lot more today and I just love the way he was looking for the next fence and wanted to take it on. I think sitting on him it felt like he's filled out as well and hopefully this will be his year. He did everything I wanted him to. It's safe ground for a horse that wants a bit of nice winter ground. I'm delighted and he did what he had to do. He jumped very well and we probably didn't learn a lot except that it looks like he's taken to fences really well. I think he’s a stronger horse than last year. It was like a good schooling session with a lead horse. I think he's going to enjoy jumping fences better than hurdles.

He did what we set out to do but I don't know if we learned much, except that he gallops and jumps. We'll see what the time is like compared to the rest of the day but it wouldn't have looked like the fastest two miles. He did everything efficiently anyway and I suppose we'll keep him at the minimum trip. He had nothing there to make him jump and sharpen him up. I just thought they weren't going a real sharp gallop. I don't know whether I'll run him again before he goes to Cheltenham. I'd imagine he'll go for the Supreme Novices, it's hardly likely he'll have another run, he'll just go there and take his chance.

I've been trying for 15 or 16 years to win this. Blazing Liss was my first ride in it for the Flynn family and John Kiely. It's a day I'll never forget. I think we should have won it. I'm glad I got it done today. He looked pretty good there. He glided down to the start. He loved that ground and when you consider how well he handled really heavy ground at Navan in the middle of winter and then win like that — this horse could be anything.

I thought Patrick had picked the wrong one, how wrong was I!. I thought Ramillies put up a great performance here at Christmas. Patrick had huge confidence in this horse and now I can see why. My mother bred him, his granny, and he was particularly pleased to ride a winner for her and in the colours of Michael Masterson. It was a superb performance in what looked like a real good race. I was hoping he'd be a nice horse but I didn't think he had that sort of capability. That's unreal what he produced there. It's been fantasy racing today. Energumene, Chacun Pour Soi, Gaillard Du Mesnil, any trainer would like to have any one of them in his lifetime. It's been a superb day's racing. I was hoping we might get a winner or two and things have worked out really really well.

My grandmother bred him which is great and I’m sure she will be watching on. It’s a pity that she can’t be here. I rode him work for Tony before he ran in Clonmel and he ran a cracker that day. He’s improved an awful lot since. He’s a very light horse and doesn’t need a lot of work to get fit and maybe that is why he won today. I think he has a lot of ability.
