I'm delighted with him. We got a bit of a shock at the bottom of the straight but he still went and did his job,. John Ryan's horse (Ferdia) isn't a bad horse. Our lad will come on from that again and we'll see where we go now. He might go for the Grimes Hurdle or maybe to Galway for the novice chase on the Thursday. It wasn't as easy as you'd expect but he still got it done. He's still learning over fences and it was grand to have a horse rattle down over them with him there as the fences are a bit bigger here than in Ballinrobe. He won his race snugly in the end. You'd be thinking that a race is average but when you go and try to win them they are not that average. We're happy out with him. Norman Lee, trainer
