wonderful, wonderful! . He is a brave horse and is a great jumper. He jumped as well as any of them in the Fortria (third in November). He has been highly tried and we thought the ground would find him out today, but he handled it. He was a £16,000 foal who we kept as a Covid carry-over and Navan has been a lucky place for me. I won the Fortria with Arctic Skipper under Sean Flanagan, when we got home a short head from all the big boys again!. I'd say it will on to be Fairyhouse or Punchestown next with Senecia.

Wonderful, wonderful! A brave horse and he’s a great jumper. He jumped as good as any of them in the Fortria (third in November). He has been highly tried and we thought the ground would find him out today, but he handled it. He was a €16,500 foal and we kept him as a Covid carry over (as he did not sell at the sales). Navan has been a lucky place for me, I won the Fortria with Arctic Skipper and Sean Flanagan (in 2016). We got home a short head from all the big boys again!. I’d say it will be Fairyhouse next or Punchestown.

That was wonderful and we have him since he was a foal. As a three-year-old we failed to sell him and he became a covid carry over so today was a big day,. We reverted back to this distance, he has a good cruising speed and Philip gave him a great ride. He was near enough at the last (when Icare Desbois exited) and got there so that's the main thing. He might go to Galway now and good ground suits him. It has been bottomless during the winter and no matter where we went, there was rain coming. Vincent has five horses and we have a small operation. The competition is strong where ever you go and this is great. The last big pot I won was the Fortria Chase with Arctic Skipper.

I'm delighted with that. I was concerned after all of the rain because I think he is a better horse on good ground, I was just hoping that his ability would pull him through and we didn't need to worry in the end. We like him a lot and he had a nice run in Limerick where he probably learned plenty. Danny thought that he probably learned a lot today as well. For a big horse he has a turn of foot and he is a nice horse to look forward to. I think two-and-a-half miles is enough for him at the minute but at the same time I wouldn't have any problem going back to two. I'd be happy enough with two miles to two-and-a-half for him. With a bit more experience over hurdles we will be looking at nicer races. It's still early days but he was impressive. He likes a little gap between races. I don't think he is a horse that you would be bouncing out again quick. We will look for a novice hurdle somewhere.
