I’m delighted with him, Rachael gave him a super ride and fair play to the Robcour team – they said Ballyburn has beaten us twice and we need to just avoid him, so that’s what we did and it’s worked out really well for us,. It’s lovely to see young horses like him coming through, we’re very fortunate the support we get from everyone and thankfully we get the odd result. Cheltenham is an amazing, special place. We’ve had a lot of luck here and it’s a cliche, but it’s our Olympics and we’re lucky to be able to take part. You definitely breathe a sigh of relief (after having a winner). We’ve never won the Supreme before so I don’t know this feeling, but it’s good. When you’ve had one winner you want two, but we’re delighted to get one. He was one of our big hopes coming here and it’s great for the team.

I'm delighted with that, it was tough work. We'd always hoped he'd be a better horse on nicer ground, he'd definitely have a preference for it, so it's great to see him get through that and get the job done. Rachael was happy and said he idled a little bit in front. He's progressing which is lovely. I don't think he needs to go up to an extreme distance, he's got plenty of gears and he won a bumper well.

Slade Steel was a nice bumper horse last year, we didn’t run him too much and it is nice to see him come out and do that. He really stayed at it. He won his point-to-point and I’d say he’s adaptable, he has a bit of pace as well. He has an entry in the Royal Bond and we’ll find a novice for him somewhere.

he won a point-to-point last year and we really liked him since he came. He does everything nice and has plenty of pace. That was a perfect starting point and John gave him a lovely ride. He’ll stay in bumpers this season and will probably have one more run, a max of two, and will make a lovely novice hurdler next season. We’ll have to talk to Robcour and see if they want to go for the Cheltenham bumper with him. There is also the bumper here at the Festival so there are lots of options. John said he was very green and ran in snatches in places. He said he’ll improve a lot from it. He’s a nice horse to look forward to.
