we were worried about the ground because the rain hadn't stopping coming here. Darragh gave him a lovely ride. He got a nice lead around, was patient and stayed out for a nice bit of fresh ground.

He was unlucky at Leopardstown the last day as another horse galloped into him and he lost a shoe. Paul Traynor, trainer
