they went some gallop and I thought they went too fast. He's not 100% fit yet but he had enough to get there. He might go to Leopardstown (for the Lexus) if the ground stayed right for him - I’ll have to talk to Chris (Jones, owner) but we are taking it one step at a time.

He was nearly gone at the first but only missed one after that. After Cheltenham he seemed to sulk, and went off everything, but in the last three weeks he came right. He wants that ground, and is a real good horse,. We'll let him off now and make a man of him for next year. He'll strengthen up again as he's only seven. He might start off here in the Durkan. In Cheltenham my heart sank. You would love to do it there but it's lovely to win here as well. When the loose horse came across I thought here comes our (bad) luck again.

I was a little scared of the ground but the two miles didn't worry me and it was a good performance; he's a good horse. It was a competitive race and they went a good gallop and he showed his staying power. He was third in the Pertemps qualifier and will probably go to Cheltenham as the owner (Chris Jones) wants to go; whether he handles the track there is a question.

I thought he'd win today but I thought he'd win easier. Robbie said he hated the ground down the bottom and he was struggling through it. He'll like it a bit better and a bit further as well. We'll find something over two mile two for him now. He'll stay jumping now as he is enjoying it. If he hadn't missed the last two he would have won handier but we're happy with that. At home he jumps hurdles like fences.

I think it's fair to say he was entitled to do that on his form and on ratings. I'm glad he did it today, having run well at Dundalk. I was a bit cautious coming down here as not every horse handles the track and he was a little bit awkward on the bends. I think he'll make a nice hurdler, he has plenty of size and scope and he has a big stride and will get better as he gets older.
