He (Fosters Cross) has had a hard season and didn't run too bad for Bryan Cooper at Punchestown the last day. We freshened him up after that and he really came back to himself in the last 10 days and it was a nice pot to get. He'll probably pull out again at Leopardstown over Christmas.

He will definitely go for the .Hurdle. on Thursday. He never leaves a nut after a race, so hopefully he will be okay after this. He's a great old horse to train, although winter ground is not his ground. He's been buzzing all week, and Colin said he was buzzing all the way down to the start. He was well due a big pot.

That was a well-deserved win. His last good run was at Fairyhouse and he didn't disgrace himself since when the ground was gone for him. The better ground here helped. We'll look at Fairyhouse with him now and I think on that ground he'll pick up more money again.

He ran well last Winter on soft ground which he doesn't like. He had a short rest after Punchestown and we were going to go chasing but decided we might pick up another hurdle. He'll have a short break now and I'm 99% sure we'll go chasing next. We'll put him away when the ground goes. He's a good ground Summer horse and his ideal trip is over two miles.
