He came here with a big reputation and a lot of people rang me after he won his point-to-point telling me to buy him but I thought it would be a bit risky buying a 6yo point-to-pointer. He eventually came to me after being in the UK and he looks a useful acquisition. I met the Costello's (trained him point-to-pointing) yesterday and they said he would love this ground. Being a Bob Back you wouldn't think that would be the case. He has a huge long stride and I said to Ruby don't be afraid to go on if there isn't much of a pace because he keeps on galloping. He took one big breath going out for the last circuit but he just gallops all day and he is one with a future I hope. W P Mullins, trainer
