Jack said he would have done more in a piece of work at home,. He was very professional, settled and done everything great. You are always worried stepping up to three miles. It's a nice race to win, we've a couple for that division now and it's a good problem to have. We've a great bunch of horses and Jack said to me there that all I have to do now is to make sure to split them up. He could be a horse that we'd keep for Aintree, we'll enjoy today and see what happens. The horse was very good and I thought it was a great performance. I thought he was so relaxed that he ticked all the boxes to stay but you are always nervous until he does it. Jack said he actually though halfway down the back that he was so relaxed but he said when he gave him a squeeze he leapt straight back on it.

we know he wants further, but he picked up and galloped. We are very happy with him. He (Kennedy) was in the right spot and he kicked at the right time and made plenty of use of him. We didn't want to make it but we had to because there was nothing else to do so. I'd say we will definitely step him up in trip as he really stays. We will keep all options open, but it wouldn't shock me if you saw him going three miles at some stage.

We decided we’d miss Cheltenham and come here fresh and it worked out well. He travelled well the whole way and everything was great. He’s a nice horse. He could go chasing next season or he could stay over hurdles. He likes soft ground and there’s a lot of prize-money to be won with him in Ireland (over hurdles). It’s brilliant for Davy. He’s after getting two Grade Ones this week now and as I’ve said we’re nearly at the end of him. He deserved a good send-off and he’s getting it now.

he did it very well and obviously had form on heavy ground in France. He did it really professionally and Davy is very happy with him. There is plenty to improve on and it is his first run in a while so he'll improve mentally and physically for it. You'd have to be impressed with it. It is lovely for Robcour to have another nice horse; they had Absolute Notions yesterday and him today so they have some good new recruits going into the winter months.
