It’s great to win a nice pot like that. Jumping is his forte and he’s probably a real two-miler looking at that. He handles any ground bar heavy.

He has loads of toe. Davy Russell was supposed to ride him but he is on his stag,. Barry was on the ball, he gave him a super ride. We will step him up in trip now again and I'd say he'll go to Galway. He might go for a novice or a handicap. He will probably get ten pounds for that. I was a bit nervous after the mark the handicapper gave him. He was very hard to assess. He keeps improving, he knows he is winning. I only have him since October and he's a lovely horse.

Our one worry today was the ground as he needs nice ground,. I got him last October and with the work he had done, I couldn't believe he was still a maiden. He had a few issues though and confidence is a big thing for him. He might hold his own in a novice chase later on, but we'll see what (handicapper) Noel O'Brien says and maybe look at a two and a half mile handicap chase at Kilbeggan on June 20th.
