David came to us when he was 17 so he knows our operation. He's seen it grow, he knows the way I think and the way everyone else in the yard thinks. He's going to be a huge help organising work in the morning, and riding work as he always is. Anytime in the past when I'm buying horses I usually send David to ride them. It's great to have someone of his calibre going to Australia with Max Dynamite, and the feedback that I will be able to get from him will be huge. David rode two French Champion Hurdle winners for me but perhaps my best memory is him winning on Mystical City in the Galway Hurdle. He was the first claimer ever to win the race, and his 3lb's made all the difference that day. W P Mullins, trainer
