Shane has just turned 19 and he is with me just over a year. That's his first winner and only his second ride over hurdles - he rode this horse in Bellewstown and things didn't work out. I'm very glad for Shane as he works hard. He is from 20 minutes away from the yard in Keady, County Armagh.

He ran well in England the last day, and I knew he was well in himself coming here today. Rita Shah has put her full support behind me, and it's great to train a winner for her. Our new wood-chip gallop is starting to pay off. It was put in ten weeks ago, and we are starting to do fast work on it now.

He's a huge horse and he's only just coming into himself but he's shaping up well. Seamie rode him before and wanted to ride him prominently as he's tough and he stays. He's schooled over hurdles and he's a big chasing type really.
