Beeverstown toughs it out from front
He's a great horse and he jumped well and he obviously handles the ground. He was in the process of running a nice race the last day when he got tired and fell. Robbie gave him a great ride. He nicked 20 lengths at the start and he let him go to sleep for the rest of the race. He can race keenly early on, but if he learns to settle a bit more he'll stay further.
The jockey Damien Murphy and Pearse Gallagher who rides out for me think he's as good a horse as they have ever ridden. He's a half brother to a good horse in England called According To Dick. He's a great lepper, but will probably go for a winners' bumper. He's a very good horse and I always said I'd keep a nice horse instead of selling him. I won this race 10 years ago with a horse Michael Hourigan trained called Its Echoes Sister.
