I'm only back from Leopardstown and I only heard the commentary on the way down. He probably wants better ground and he can't really get a big mark for that win. He has been disappointing and was pulling himself up in races but like a lot of my horses he was probably sick.

Virignia (winning owner Virginia Lady Petersham) is a great supporter of National Hunt racing and I'm delighted to train a winner for her as she was getting a bit dishearted recently. He is a real summer horse but we will probably wait until next season to go chasing with him.
