I had a run around beforehand and I thought it was better out wide on the far-side and on the turn-in. It might have helped but he did it well, he jumped brilliantly and he travelled and picked up well. I had plenty of horse left, I was happy enough that if anything came to me I'd find more. We've always thought a lot of this horse. He got beat in his first two point-to-points, a bit unfortunately, but he won his third one and then he had a run in a bumper. He finished third then but he's a jumping horse more than anything. We'll probably go chasing sooner rather than later. He's a bit like who I called him after . the rugby player, Simon Zebo. I was watching television one evening and I saw him scoring two or three tries so I said there's a name for my horse. He did the same as Zebo today. Michael Hourigan, trainer
