Jim and Noeline Power are from Tramore and are great supporters of the yard, so it's great to get a winner for them here. . We bought this horse out of Sean Curran's yard and he has run well every day since we got him. He is lowly rated and will be kept going in races like this. Jack did well to stay on him at the last. Thank God it was Tramore fences and not big ones like at Fairyhouse. Gordon Elliott, trainer
