it's nice to get a winner at a big meeting like this and she loves that ground. We were searching for a place to find ground deep enough. She's coped with it everywhere she's gone and I dropped her back to two-and-a-half today and it worked out lovely. Cian is with us about two-and-a-half months. He's from Monasterevin and that's his first winner in Ireland but he had two winners in Britain for Evan Williams. I liked the way he rode straight away and he listens and is intelligent. On the young horses we have schooling at home, they all jump well for him. I'm delighted to have him, he's a good young lad to have in the yard and he definitely did nothing wrong there. Hopefully it's the first of many for him. Francis J Flood, trainer
