Stayer Goose Man wins over the minimum
I brought him back to two (miles) because he has learned how to put his feet under him and gallop which he didn't a year ago - experience of racing has helped. I'm very happy with that. The second last was as good as a fall when that happens, but I love the way he picked back up again and came back on ground that they say is unbelievably soft. He'll have an entry in the Close Brothers Novices' Handicap (Chase) over two miles five. He's going the right way and he's a horse I like. It's great to win over two when he's really a three miler. Better ground will suit him but I'm not saying good ground.
Short impresses on Lennon's Hill
He's a fun type of horse. He had a few wee issues last year. We'll probably keep him in that company,. It's very testing out there, in fairness Adam took his time with him. He said they went a good gallop so he was in no panic. I actually left it to him.

Gun Digger impresses for top team
He's a grand, big, honest, galloping horse. He's a big chaser for next year. Whatever he does is a bonus until he goes jumping fences,. Jack said the further he went the better he got in that ground. He'll win plenty of races in that ground.

Well Set Up creates big impression on debut
I'm surprised, to be honest with you, on that ground. She goes well at home and I thought coming here the ground might catch her out but that she would come on for the experience,. She was green the whole way and then she got between a few horses up the straight and she ran on and won well. Richie (Deegan) gave her a brilliant ride. She won pretty decisively. She is very well-bred - she is a half sister to Nicky Henderson's horse, On The Blind Side. She looks like she is going to have a good future too.
