My lad galloped all the way to line and the minute he heard the other lad (Stealthy Tom) coming he went on again. That’s the full set of wins in all Punchestown's banks races now - I’ve won the other two and this (the La Touche) is the main one - it means everything to us. he stays going and we knew coming into it that the trip would suit him down to the ground.

he loves it around here, he's been second a few times but he did the job today. He loves the banks. He's been a great old horse and has won four down in Lingstown for me, he knows his job. We'll see what way he is but he might run again on Thursday (in the La Touche).
