he would have been an unlucky loser but he won anyway so that's grand. He is what he is and that's his level and he wants quick ground so he hasn't that much time left this year.

All he does is stay. One mile four furlongs is his minimum. He stayed on well, loves that surface and it can't be too quick for him. The owner Michael Keating is very keen to go to Galway. The two mile handicap on the Saturday would suit him well.

The cheekpieces worked. He probably wants further and I put them on him to sharpen him up. He travelled well throughout the race but he got caught a bit flat footed, he stayed on well though. We will look for something similar now or he might go back hurdling as he jumps well. He didn't like Kilbeggan (made his hurdling debut there) as he is a big galloping horse and he needs a galloping track.
