That was great, back here in the happy hunting ground. I thought Conor gave him a super ride, it was a very intelligent ride. The plan was to sit mid-division but he ended-up right up there. I told him to do his own thing, so he was happy with where the horse was. I'm over the moon for the racing club, as it's their first winner. They've had to wait a bit longer than I thought they would. I thought this lad would do a job for them over hurdles last season. He is just a different horse over fences. He is brilliant to jump and if you go back to his first run in a point-to-point he was second to Walk Away. That form had to come through. We'll see how he comes out of this and he might go somewhere at Christmas time. The handicapper will decide where we go. I wouldn't be rushing back here with him. A bigger track and bigger fences will suit him. This beginners chase was tailor-made for him. James Daniel Dullea, trainer
