that’s fantastic and I’m delighted! It’s great to get a big win like that. He’s honest out and Sean (Flanagan) said he has loads of scope. We’d have been happy if he had been in the first three today and he’s obviously improved from last season and it’s fantastic. We’ll make a plan now after this. fair play to Nicky Kiely who rides him out at home, he’s done great work with him and Andrew (Lynch, injured) who usually rides him - they’ve always had faith in the horse and said he would be a stronger horse this year.

he's improved from the last day which he probably just needed after nine months off. He had a splint problem after his bumper run. He's a big horse, just shy of 17.2 hands and is a chaser who will go over fences next season; that'll be his game. He could go for a novice hurdle but we'll see how he comes out of this and, being a big horse, he wouldn't want the ground too quick.
