We weren't happy at any point of the race. He's a very hard ride because he needs cover. It's exactly what happened last year but he got beat on the line then. This year it just paid off and he was lucky enough to get out. He needs to settle and needs cover, around here it's so hard because a lot of horses all week having been on the pace. It's relief, if you had asked me one horse that I thought would have won during the week it would have been him. Then when the others won I said this was the one that was going to get beat!. He's a classy horse, he's quick over his hurdles and two miles is his ideal trip. The plan was to come back for this race. It's not often it works out so it's great. The horses are really just alive. They are even fresh riding out, bucking. It's hard to explain, they are just on the crest of a wave at the minute. It's great, it's not going to last forever but long may it last.

The last day when Keith rode him here he thought he was going to win turning in and he got to the front early on him. He doesn't do a whole lot when he gets to the front, like he did again today. Today he said he was going to ride him like Harchibald! It was a lovely patient ride and Katie rang me straight away afterwards and said it was a peach of a ride. He's a great leaper. We bought him in the summertime after he was third in a bumper to a horse of ours, Realistic Optimism. He's turned out to be a very consistent horse and Keith said he's going to be very competitive in handicaps, a good fun horse on nice ground in the summer. We won't be rushing him and obviously with the boys (Monroe family) connection he'll definitely be going to Galway.
