He was second in an Irish National the last day and I’d imagine we’ll head for something like a Troytown. Limerick would be a bit sharp for him and Navan suits him better. I thought he’d need the run today but I’d say the race fell apart when you look at the second and third. I was pleased with what he did and Jack was positive on him.

he (Frontal Assault) was way too keen with the blinkers in Leopardstown. He'll be a grand big staying chaser. He really stayed well there. He'll get an entry in the Martin Pipe (Conditional Jockeys Hurdle at Cheltenham) and we'll see what happens. The likes of Punchestown might not be ideal for him if the ground gets too quick.
