He got up on the line to win in Limerick on bottomless ground as well, he just stayed at it really well. I thought when they came around him he was going to be third. I knew he’d stay at it, but I didn’t think he’d catch the winner. He was an unlucky faller in a beginners’ chase before. He jumped well today. He said he was grand and idle in second place the whole way around. He hit the line fairly well. It was a chase for horses rated 120 or less, so it was grand for him and it’s nice to get off the mark over fences with him. Hopefully he’ll make into a nice staying chaser on soft ground. We might try him with a light weight in better races and see how we go. I thought the ground would be a bit quick today but they went a good gallop on it. He definitely wants three miles, that’s not going to happen very often where they stop like that and come back to him. He stays at it well and jumped an awful lot better today. I thought for a big horse he was maybe lacking a bit of scope, but he jumped well today.

It is nice to get one on the board early as we had a few disappointments in the last fortnight,. Jody (McGarvey, on favourite Jolie Coeur Allen) was plenty keen in-behind and our lad was green in front. I was worried but Sean (Flanagan, jockey) wasn't as he had gone a good gallop. He has improved a tonne from the first day and Sean thinks he is a good horse who wants that soft ground. He jumps like a buck and has a great attitude. Aidan Fitzgerald (pre-trainer) did a great job with him last year and takes his time with those horses. It is important to have a good winner for Lynne and Angus (Maclennan) as last year was their first year with us. We had a winner last year too and hopefully it is the beginning of a good partnership.
