He's a right little horse. It's nice when a plan comes off and to bring up the hat-trick by winning the Madrid is a great result,. He's a turf horse really and I knew what he did in Dundalk wasn't going to be what he could do on turf but he still won twice. He's progressed with every run and it's a fantastic result. I'd probably be in favour of having a go at the Gladness at the Curragh over seven, all going well. He has lots of options. He did win impressively. You don't mind foregoing their handicap mark when they win a premier handicap in that style and you know you have a black-type horse.

He's a dogged little fella. I just said to Ronan to be positive with him and he will keep finding. When I saw him go off the bridle two and a-half out, I wasn't overly concerned because he's a fighter. He certainly showed that again today and is very willing. You'd say that a crack at a mile should be within his remit. I think Ronan is adamant that he will be a better horse on turf. We'll look forward to the turf with him.

I'd say he is more of a turf horse now, being honest, than an all-weather horse but it is nice to see he can handle that sort of surface. Going forward, it gives us more options. He's still a touch babyish. He's genuine but being by Churchill you wouldn't expect him to be an early-season type. He has just been learning a lot as he has been going on. The last day at Naas he came forward a lot for the application of headgear (cheekpieces) - it is just to help him to figure it out quicker. We had to make the running today, so the cheekpieces were no harm. He's very genuine, you can see when Ronan went for him he dropped his head to the ground and tried really hard.
