That's very good for the Hays (owners). This fellow was in at Cheltenham yesterday but I said 'he'll be placed in Cheltenham but he'll win here'. The other horse is rated 151 (Tout Est Permis) but I didn't worry about his rating the way he had been running. We were on 135 but I still believe he is on the way up and we took the 7lb off. I'm delighted for Pat - it is his first ride over fences. He has done loads of hunter trials and loads of schooling. It is good that he has that monkey off his back. He's not really in anything as it is too close to the Irish National. I didn't enter him for that reason as it was just going to be too close from St Patrick's Day. He's not in at Aintree but he will be in Aintree next year, he's that type of horse. I think that is only his 16th run. We were happy with today.

He’s not going to get into the Thyestes on Thursday so I’d really nowhere else to run him. I loved the way he jumped — he jumped like a hurdler and we know he can jump fences. All the options are open now,.

I brought him back to two (miles) because he has learned how to put his feet under him and gallop which he didn't a year ago - experience of racing has helped. I'm very happy with that. The second last was as good as a fall when that happens, but I love the way he picked back up again and came back on ground that they say is unbelievably soft. He'll have an entry in the Close Brothers Novices' Handicap (Chase) over two miles five. He's going the right way and he's a horse I like. It's great to win over two when he's really a three miler. Better ground will suit him but I'm not saying good ground.

He’s done that well for a five-year-old. He’s a horse that we like but he’s a baby. He jumped much sharper today and got a lovely ride off Andrew. He’s a handicapper and won’t be going any bright lights for a few years. I don’t think he’s mad about real heavy ground but I want him to learn. Down the line hopefully he could be a National type horse when he gets experience. (My son) Pat has been schooling him with Andrew.
