That was great, just what we needed. He's a fair useful horse but he's been dogged by injury. Every time he's run something has happened to him. He came back from Listowel (his last appearance, a winner down there 173 days back) with a crack in a hind leg and he's just been very difficult. He'll go for another novice now and hopefully he'll stay sound. He wouldn't want the ground too quick. He was quite decent on the flat in France. He ran in a lot of listed races there and he was always there or there-abouts. Noel Meade, trainer
