Bryan is riding well and he's been very lucky for me over the years. He's a very good rider and it's great to have him on your side,. We bought him as a two-year-old in France and he's taken a while. He's a bit lazy as you can see in his races. He was going well in Galway and he made a very bad mistake at the third last on very heavy ground and it knocked the bottom out of him. He still ran a very good race that day (fourth on his comeback) and I quietly fancied him each-way today. I would think he'll probably run in the Paddy Power at Christmas, I'd imagine that will be his next port of call.

I’ve been expecting that performance for quite some time — I never thought we would be coming here to run in a non winners’ maiden hurdle. He has always worked well at home and we always thought plenty of him. He’s a gorgeous-looking horse, you would think looking at him he is every inch a chaser. Whether he stays over hurdles or goes over fences, I wouldn’t know as I will have to talk to Eddie and Michael (O’Leary). He probably will stay over hurdles. He’ll build on that, he didn’t really handle the track that well but stayed on well. Sean just said he thought he was a lot stronger and more together horse than he was before. I’d say that wasn’t a bad race.
