He was the standout in the race and Shane was confident. We'll be back to the North to go chasing. I'd say Downpatrick next time. He has run well there before. He has been in good form the last few weeks but we were waiting for the ground to dry up. This was the best we could get so we took our chance. The plan was to go chasing but after this we'll see.

He'll maybe run again in the next two or three weeks but it depends on the ground. Shane Nolan, trainer
