He's very consistent and always runs a good race,. It was a ridiculously slowly run. Colin got a lovely position on him and I'd say the visor just helped him concentrate up the straight. It's lovely to win with him as Paul Rooney has been a great owner for us and the horse has been a good servant to him. It's great for Paul to get a winner because the owners are fantastic to have stayed so loyal all through the pandemic. Paul in particular loves nothing more than a day out at the races and we really appreciate his support. He'll get a good kick out of that.

when he won the last day he got a bit of confidence from it. Ronan gave him a lovely ride, he stayed nice and cool on him and the gaps just appeared in time. He's a tough genuine little fella and he does what he does. We'll keep him going up here for a while anyway. I'm delighted for Paul as he had to be very patient with him. I bought him as a breeze-up horse last year and it just took him a while to get the hang of things. He was a weak horse, and weak minded, but he's getting a bit of confidence now. He's found a level that he can operate off and he's genuine.

he’s a slow learner like myself! . He lacked enough weight for Ronan (Whelan) to ride him and Shane (Foley) has been lucky in those colours before and found a lovely slot there from a wide draw. That’s his trip and he handles the ground so we’ll keep him tipping away here over the winter.
