What can you say about him. He does it for me every year. The handicapper was hard on him when he won last year but he shouldn't be too hard on him for that. I don't care if he doesn't win again as he has been a great horse for me.

He's been a model of consistency and always puts his best foot forward. That's my fifth winner and I'm based with Kevin Prendergast at Friarstown. He's been called some bad names in the press, but if I had 20 of him I'd be delighted. He's won three times for me and has been placed a million times. He has his own quirks and his own way of doing things. We'll try him over hurdles and the blinkers will probably stay off now. He's a brilliant work horse at home.

He came out of (Dermot) Weld's and obviously retains plenty of his ability,. He was entitled to win off his rating but not many gave him a chance. He stuck his neck out and is genuine enough. He'll tip away at this. He wasn't a big fan of hurdles although he was placed in one. It was a very good ride from Gary as he needs to be covered up.
