He has been off the track for two years. He injured his sesamoid on his first run when he was second. He had been working well recently and we were going to run him over hurdles, but we said we'd go for a bumper because his work was good enough to win one. He probably wasn't in love with the heavy conditions here. He is a classy horse and you'd see him maybe being a horse for Leopardstown at Christmas. We will look at keeping him for Leopardstown and going over hurdles, but we will see. Barry Connell, trainer
