He did very well and Paul said he's only learning, he has very few races under his belt,. Paul said he's starting to get down and hurdle properly now. He settled in and changed gear when he wanted to. It was an automatic change of gear and he looks hugely exciting. He has serious gears and he's only learning to race. He only had a few races on the Flat and he's getting it together over hurdles now. We bought him before he won the Listed race in France, it's a thing we never do but we spotted him and asked the price and they gave it to us. They wanted to run him in the Listed race, we said okay and kept our fingers crossed. He got into awful trouble on the race and there was huge interest after that, I'm sure Rich could have turned over a neat profit. The Australians wanted him and he looked ideal for down there, maybe he'll end up down there some day. Maybe we'll have a tilt at the Melbourne Cup, not this year. He's got a nice rating on the Flat and I think he has got lots of room to improve on the Flat as well.

We hadn’t planned to be in front at the last, but that is just the way it turned out. He had a look around and I knew there was loads there when I got to the back of it. He’s a bit to learn, but he’s improving with every run. He’s got a very big engine. He’ll have to jump a bit slicker for a Champion Hurdle, but that can be worked out at home. He’s definitely going the right way. I’m delighted with that. He was able to win even without having the experience that he should have going into that sort of race. You could see that when he hit the front. Paul said he was looking at everything and probably all the cameras on the landing side of the last hurdle and he just lost his impetus. But he picked up quickly again and went on like a good horse. You’d have to think he could be a Champion Hurdle horse and he has a great Flat rating. I think he’ll improve with age and experience and with the Flat rating he has, he’ll be good enough to contest those cup races, I think. I’ll have a word with Rich, but I’d imagine we’ll give him his summer off and then maybe hurdle next season and go Flat racing after that.

He's a horse we like. I was disappointed I got beaten on him the first day (when second to Pied Piper in a maiden hurdle at Punchestown on New Year's Eve), we might have made up for that today. His form, after his run in Punchestown, was looking very good. I thought if Paul got him jumping today he could improve hugely on his Punchestown form, which he did. It's tremendous to win another Grade One. We're delighted he won today, put it all together and he learned and got his experience today. It's a nice way to break your maiden. I don't know if many horses have broken their maiden in a Grade One but it's a nice achievement for him anyhow. We thought he was a nice horse when we bought him. On his second last run we had him bought and then he ran once more on the Flat in France and proved that he was a serious Flat horse. We just had to teach him how to jump and we eventually got around to that. It's tremendous for Rich and Paul and all connections.
