He came out of Gowran really well and I was very happy with him coming into today,. He has a great attitude, he got into a lovely rhythm there even though the slow pace wasn't ideal and on the drier ground it was going to be interesting to see how he got on. He's going the right way and I couldn't be happier with him, he's a lovely horse for the future. We'll aim him at Punchestown now but we'll have to find a race in between as that is ten weeks away. I have to say how grateful I am to JP, like so many others. You'd have to call him the patron saint of jumps racing in Ireland because we'd all be lost without him. It's lovely to have a nice horse for him again. I said to Ricky don't be too bothered over the third and fourth last so you can set him up for the last two. My father always said if you keep standing back and jumping you can end up on the ground. I'm delighted with him, he's going the right way and he's a big baby. Whether we go chasing next season or not, there is plenty of time to think about that and we'll see how the season ends up. A L T Moore, trainer
