He could have jumped a bit better, and I really had to ask him at a lot of the hurdles. Coming out of the back I always thought that I’d get there but then Jack (Kennedy, on Foxy Jacks) slipped a few lengths on me and Bryan (Cooper)’s horse (Asbury Boss) broke down and I was lucky to get by him. This is a nice horse and he won two bumpers last year. He’s always been threatening to do that but he needs a trip. Even over two and a half miles you are always on your head, and three miles around here was ideal. The beauty of now is that he’s a novice for all of this season and those rated novice races will suit him. We’ve had five winners in the last ten days and it’s great when they are running well. There is a good buzz about the yard. Denis Gerard Hogan, trainer
