After race at Punchestown Wed, 26th Apr, 2017 (1st) 
When we first had him he wasn't getting up the gallop — he then had a wind operation and he still wasn't getting up the gallop,. The last three weeks though he was good — quite good in fact. He jumped well there and he looked a class machine again. We don't know where it comes from sometimes. Viconte Du Noyer bled at Cheltenham but we were in that spell then. Whatever we did in the run up to Cheltenham we couldn't win a race. It must have been a low-grade bug — unless I forgot how to train for a month!. He's dropped down the handicap but he travelled and jumped.

You dream of days like this. I had a treble before between Cork and Punchestown but not on one card. I'm delighted. All the horses seemed in good form and we were waiting on the ground to change. We were looking forward to running them and it's great they are performing like this.
