I'm delighted. That's a lovely way to win your beginners!. He ran really well in Punchestown and I was delighted with him. We thought he had only 9-11 but luckily the weights went up and Paddy was able to ride him. He knows him from home. He jumps like a handicapper and I said to make use of his low weight. We knew he stayed three miles so what was the point of hanging around. I told him you have to kick him into every fence because his problem was, if you look back on his beginners chase, he was a bit cautious. I put the cheekpieces on him and said to be positive the last day when Finny Maguire rode him. He probably would have won the last day he if hadn't made a mistake at the third last and he was giving the winner well over a stone. I was pretty confident today. I knew he'd love the ground because he won his point-to-point on good ground. He was the last horse that Alan Potts bought, off Timmy Hyde, and I was lucky enough to get him. He was literally in my yard a week before Alan died. It's great that Stephanie his daughter is over here today. We had sort of thought about the four miler at Cheltenham but I definitely wouldn't be going if there was too much soft in the ground. He's a smashing horse, he's just turned six, so he could be a horse that might run in the Irish National if he gets into it and then we could look at something at Punchestown for him.
