He lost his way a bit and Brian (Acheson, owner) suggested we go back pointing him this year and we were hoping to qualify him for the Aintree Foxhunters but ran out of time. It is nice to get the win with him and we had a doubt all season was he seeing out the three-miles. He had a good run behind Lord Schnitzel last time and Harry (Swan) gave him a super ride today and got some super leaps out of him. I'm thrilled to get the win for Brian and Rob (Acheson) who are great supporters of ours. The lads might be anxious to run in Punchestown and he'll definitely get an entry anyway and fingers crossed for next season then. J Motherway, trainer
