Very good, jumped great and galloped all the way to the line so I am very happy with him. He's a very strong stayer and the further he goes, the better he gets. He could nearly have gone around there again. He’d a good run the last day and we thought he’d come on from it, but we thought it would be tough. Jack said he stayed very well and jumped brilliant. I’d imagine he’ll go for something at Christmas. I liked the way he stayed galloping. He travelled the whole way and he could be a real National Hunt Chase horse for Cheltenham. Gordon Elliott

Sat, 27th Dec, 2025  I can’t believe the way things are going. Sam was good on him and got it easy in front and James (Smith) was good on the second horse, so I’m delighted,. Maybe the cross-country the last day helped to sweeten him up a bit. It’s great prize money and they are the races you want to win. Jack (Kennedy) is first jockey, but Sam, Danny (Gilligan) and all the boys are there at home. They have to wait their turn, but it just goes to show when you keep your head down and keep working, you get your chances. Gordon Elliott

Sat, 27th Dec, 2025  Talk The Talk actually jumped the last very well and is a very exciting prospect, I was confident I’d have won. Elliott has well and truly been the man to follow in recent weeks and said of Favori De Champdou: .I can’t believe the way things are going.

After race at Thurles Thu, 24th Nov, 2022 (1st)  He is going the right way and I thought it was a good performance. He had a leg injury but is very tough and that is what he was bought to do, so it is great. I have a few ideas in my head and he could run in a handicap hurdle at Navan. He stays very well, you'd like the way he does it and while he doesn't show much at home, he keeps improving. Gordon Elliott

After race at Thurles Thu, 3rd Nov, 2022 (1st)  He did everything right and Jack gave him a good ride. He is one of Gigginstown's and they like them ridden up there but we thought he'd need the run and he looked big in the ring. He jumped great and he'll probably go chasing now. Gordon Elliott

After race at Thurles Thu, 6th Feb, 2020 (1st)  He is a grand honest horse and probably liked that bit of alright ground as well and we'll have a bit of fun with him now. He'll go jumping next season. Gordon Elliott
