After race at Punchestown Thu, 1st May, 2014 (1st)

I was actually a bit worried about the ground the last day at Kilbeggan that it would be too quick but we just needed to get his head in front. The 6lbs penalty he carried today was a bit of a bummer but he did it well. He really needs two and a half miles but they went really quick and all he was doing was staying. He had been struggling on very soft ground and he might have a break now and come back for Galway.
