He seems to love it around here. He's brilliant - for such a big horse he's so clever (over his jumps),. He got a foot injury at Aintree and was stood in his stable for eight weeks. We thought it was an injury he might not recover from but he's very brave. He'll get an entry for the Kerry National and we'll see what the handicapper does to him. Another option is the conditions race he won at Navan (on 24th September) a few seasons ago.

Ruby said he showed plenty of speed today and the hurdles were only getting in his way, and he'd need fences to be at his best.

It was always the plan to come for the Galway Plate but it's something else to actually win the race,. I was worried about the ground although he won his point-to-point in soft ground.

Paul Nicholls won a bumper with a relation (Penyfan Dawn). He is a nice horse and he'll probably go for a winners bumper next before novice hurdling.

He didn't get home at Perth the last day (3 miles). The Galway Plate has always been on the agenda and that's his target.
