We bought him off Warren Ewing a couple of years ago and bought him to be a big chaser. He looks like a chaser. It has been a slow burner to where we are getting with these horses. Noel and Valerie (Moran, Bective Stud) are massive supporters of Cullentra and they have invested a lot of money in racing. They are getting their dividends now. It takes time to get where we are and to get winners for them in Navan, their local track, is like a dream come true. I’m absolutely delighted for them and this is a special weekend. Obviously, he is entered in the Drinmore – that might just come a bit too soon. We will look at something probably around Christmas. He is a Martin Pipe winner and it is a race that good horses come out of.

Jack said he would have done more at home and it was a nice school around for him,. It was a nice confidence booster after falling the last day. He jumped great there today. He'll have to head for one of those good novice hurdles now, whether it's this side of Christmas or not I don't know. Three miles won't bother him or he could go back to Navan in a few weeks time for one of those novice hurdles there because he didn't have a hard race there. He probably likes a bit of soft ground, the way he handled it there. Jack said when he gave him a squeeze after the second last he picked up very quickly.
