After race at Punchestown Sun, 7th Dec, 2014 (1st)

He has so much class this fella but it's trying to get him to produce it. I'm delighted with that on his first run back and Johnny gave him a super ride. He'll go for the Paddy Power now. We'll give it a whirl and see how he gets on. When he's short he's not amazing and he has no regard for his fences. He's funny and a real character. We had to reverse him into the ring today to get him in. He has his own way of doing things. If he stops at home we just have to turn and go back to the yard with him.
