The ground not going too deep suited him. He's a horse of a lifetime and has always been a brilliant horse for the Sloans. He might get a bit of a break, he wouldn't want real heavy ground. They'll all go to the usual places over Christmas. It's great for Keith, he's a big part of our team. He's had loads of chances and he proves when he gets the chances how good he is. Denis (O’Regan) was happy with him (Presenting Percy) and said he blew up. The ground just wasn’t as soft as he would have wanted.

I don't what happened. We got a bit of luck on our side and we needed it with the way the day started off,. It's going to be ding dong for the week and it just shows what can happen. I don't know what happened to Paul Townend, it all happened that quick. I was standing at the last and when I saw Paul going I wasn't sure if it had been bypassed. It worked out great for me so I can't complain. He's won a Grade 1 now and won at Cheltenham. The Sloans are massive supporters of the yard so I'm delighted for them. If it's like this for the week it'll be interesting anyway!

Davy gave the horse a peach. He was my nap of the meeting last year in the Martin Pipe, but he went wrong so it's brilliant. The horse was great. I'm absolutely thrilled.

He jumps and he gallops. We’ll see where we go from here whether he’ll go for a handicap or stay the novice route. The owners like to go to Cheltenham, so more than likely he will go for something over there. I’m not sure if he will go for something before that. This might not be his ideal track as he was flat out early, and a more galloping track would suit him better.

Downpatrick Fri, 20th May, 2016 (1st)
He's a nice horse. He wants further, he's more a three mile horse but we made plenty of use of him and it worked out grand so everyone is happy.
