He was enjoying it anyway which with those horses is the main thing and the third horse ran well too. Vital Island is a good old yardstick to know where you are going. We might have a look at Cheltenham in December but he likes it anyway which is the main thing and he’d like a bit of nicer ground in the spring. We couldn’t even dream of going to Cheltenham for the last two years taking on them other horses which were in a different ballpark. It was Mica Malpic’s first time around here and Darragh (O’Keeffe) said he finished it out well and was warming up to it. He’d also like good ground but he enjoyed it and will be back again. He’d 12 stone as well and had to give 10lb to Birchdale. The new layout seemed to ride well. There are no sharp bends and everyone got around safely which is the main thing.

He always had the ability and I just think he has matured as well, I'm not taking much credit for it. I thought he got a great ride from young Mark, I've known him for a long time as he used to come in and ride out for us. It all came together today and 9-7 was a help. It was Mr Berry's idea to use him, it's getting harder to get fellas to do the weight. Mark is riding well and it was an easy decision. He was outstanding on him. I was getting mixed up with the red cap (on Winter Escape) and blue cap. I said 'we're going to be third' but next thing someone said to me 'well done' coming down off the stands. I was certain I was the red cap so it was a pleasant surprise!. I'd say the loose horse coming towards him as well probably carried him on. This was kind of the plan and it's a prestigious race to win.
