He unseated Sean (Flanagan) at Gowran so I was hoping he'd get down over the first couple today! . At home he jumps well but he was wide at Gowran when we said we'd give him a little light and he ducked left and right but Sean said he was good today. I'm delighted with that and he'll come on a tonne from it as he is still a big baby. He'll run on the flat at Galway next - in the race he was beaten a short-head in last year, and will then mix it for the rest of the summer. J R Barry, trainer
