Company enjoys fencing test
It was easy to see where Ruby Walsh's "he jumped really well," assessment came from after the victory of the Malcolm Denmark-owned and Willie Mullins-trained Pleasant Company.

It was hard fought. Ruby said he was going to sit quiet on him today and try be there at the business end. That's exactly what happened. It's very very tough going, and ground I think that he doesn't like in particular so it's fortunate to get a win like that on that ground. He's in Aintree and that would be his owners preferred option so that's probably where he goes. Obviously I'll enter him in the Irish National here being a course winner but I'd imagine it's Aintree. I'd imagine he won't be going to Cheltenham. Ruby looked at the race and thought there was plenty of pace. He didn't think he needed to be involved too early and took a chance but he had the confidence in the horse to come through. I'd imagine if he had fallen four or five out people would have said he was never going to be involved anyway. He took a view on the race. I said go ahead, do that and let's see what happens. It worked out perfectly.

This fella jumped brilliant the whole way for me. I was probably in front a fraction too soon but when he was going I didn't want to disappoint him. Thankfully he got me out of a hole and stayed going to the line. When he heard the other horse coming he pulled out for me again. He ran too free in Cheltenham but he settled brilliantly today. The addition of the hood and the strong gallop probably helped. He's doing everything right and he's going the right way. He's a fine, big staying chaser and just ran too free at Cheltenham. We wanted to run him in the bet365 Chase at Sandown but he didn't get in. He's done it nicely and looks a National horse, and could run in something like the Hennessy.

He did it well and showed a lot of bravery. He'll get an entry in the RSA and the four mile race.
