He's a good horse. It was a messy race as they went no gallop. I missed a bit of time with him a month or two ago and he's having a proper blow, he's going to come on a lot from it. If I didn't come here I had to go to Navan, there aren't a lot of races for him going forward and I wanted to get a run into him. On the day probably 80 per cent of mine ran below par so I was nervous going into the race, but I think he's a proper horse. It's all about the future with this horse, whatever he does this year is only going to be a bonus — I think he's a real one. The boys (KTDA Racing) are big supporters of the yard and they flew over from England today, so I'm delighted to get them a winner. He'll go straight to Cheltenham now. I'm not worried about today, the race was very messy and it didn't work out. They went no gallop and he's a big galloping horse. He's a stayer. Harry said he didn't do a stroke when he got to the front. It's one of those days, I didn't think we had too many that were going to win but at the same time we had one or two run disappointing. That's the game we're in and I've had worse days. Gordon Elliott

After race at Down Royal Sat, 2nd Nov, 2024 (1st)  He's a speedy horse and I'm delighted with him. He's a real two miler, a quick horse. He'll definitely stay two miles. I think he was almost foot perfect - even down to the last, he got in close to it and quick away from it. A great performance, he jumped class. He came out of Donnchadh's (Doyle) and all those horses are very well schooled. Last year in Punchestown he was running a bit keen and probably got a bit lit up at the end of the season. He's a lot stronger - even watching him walking around the ring, there is a big improvement in him today. Last year he was light. I imagine the Royal Bond will be where he goes, all being well.
