Kilcarry Bridge is her brother who won nine races and Willie Mullins had New Kid In Town another brother, it’s some family. They want to go out and race and they wear their heart on their sleeve. Shane Fitz is the only man to have won on her. He’s coming into me a few days a week and that’s his third winner for me this year. I’m delighted for him as he’s a great lad and it’s great to see him back riding winners. We’ll mix it between hurdles and fences with her and hopefully the handicapper won’t be too hard on her.

He got a great tune out of him because he wasn’t going early but he got him going and got him jumping. Going around the outside probably helped him to do that and the fact they went very quick he stayed on well. You would have to admire the jockey, a 5lb claimer, the ride he gave him. That’s the first time he’s rode for me and he was exceptional on him as he wasn’t simple. He had a hard job getting him stoked up. He is a very good horse but is not the simplest horse to keep right and has had a lot of issues over the years. I think he’s had more broken bones than Paul Carberry!. Sam (Ewing) was on him at Punchestown and thought he might have won and he didn’t pick up at the fourth-last. He then went to Ballinrobe and he didn’t want to know at all about jumping. The run at Listowel the last day helped to sweeten him up a bit. If he’s sound and all goes well then he’ll go for the (Galway) Plate.
