What he was doing in half speeds was very good though. Down the back straight I had to get down and push him five or six times, but he's quite green as we weren't working him hard. Coming around the home bend he was pricking his ears. I kicked then - I did the same in the Land Rover (on Jenkins, the runner-up) and didn't get home. It worked here - unfortunately it didn't work earlier. I think there's a lot of improvement in him. It's nice for Luke McMahon (owner) to get a winner. His Uncle Junior retires this week so hopefully this fellow can give him as much pleasure. He's obviously very smart and showed lots of gears. He has a real staying pedigree so when he showed that it's very encouraging. He did it the hard way as he only had a few horses behind him at the stone wall. He showed greenness but then he showed lots of speed and then showed off his stamina when Jessie's horse came to him. He's a horse for the future. I think he'll need a break now as he was ready today, and he'll come back later on. He could go to Galway for a winners bumper, or we may leave him off and come back jumping. W P Mullins, trainer
