I love that little horse - he is a cracker and is so tough. He had a lovely mark and he is just a dour, dour stayer. He wants four miles, goes on heavy, is by Flemensfirth and is as tough as nails. There is a 3m5f handicap chase now and he could also go for the Welsh National over Christmas. I'm delighted for Frank Reynolds (owner) who has had a lot of winners but that is his first big winner. That's Sean's first National winner and he has also ridden out his (3lb) claim with that win. It's a grand way to lose his claim! John Patrick Ryan, trainer
