He travelled and jumped well and he had the form on his Punchestown run and that run was good enough to win this. He could go on the flat now but we'll keep going wherever we can find a race for him. If I had a few more owners like Jerry (Nolan), it'd be very easy. He has been lucky and has two nice horses (also Lord Erskine) with me.

He's struggled over hurdles but it's nice to see him winning one. I'd say it was a bad race today but all he could do was win it. He could run in the Irish St Leger on Sunday. There is prize-money for the first eight and we will see how many are left in it and make a decision then. Hopefully he will go for the Cesarewitch. It is in Navan this year which will suit him, and there is a Group 3 in Naas that he will probably run in as well. We will let him roll along now if we can.

That's why Pat is champion jockey. He was very good on him. It's great to get another winner,. He could go for the amateur race at Galway if it works out. He wouldn't run on soft or fast ground. We'll maybe look at the Cesarewitch later in the year. I think the fast pace in that would suit him. I thought he was beat but he battled well and he's earned his keep for a few days.

It's great to have Smullen on your side, and he knows him inside out. I thought he was in trouble a furlong out but he picked up again.

After race at
Navan Sat, 30th May, 2015 (1st)
I thought he would like an ease. He looked a winner from a long way out but I'd say it wasn't a great race. He seems to stay well but is probably more of a hurdle horse. He's a fine big horse, and hopefully he can only improve.
