He'll make a lovely chaser next year. He's a grand big horse,. He just wants fast ground - the faster the ground the better. I don't know where we'll go next. When we stepped him up in Roscommon he wasn't good enough. There isn't much in novices over three miles for him so we'll probably look at a handicap.

They kind of made the race for him too, it was for horses rated under 109 and he rated him 104 and the other lads are getting penalties. It was really made for him but he probably did improve a little bit with the run the last day. He just loves that good ground. The ground was a big factor. He's a big, big horse so maybe he's just only filling out. He was very close to being let go. Fair play to Eddie (O'Leary) the last day he ran real bad here, he said 'no, keep going with him. Give him another couple of tries'. He's going to go up a bit now. Bryan said not to delay too long over hurdles with him before going over fences. We'll see but I imagine he'll run in another novice hurdle.
