I wish there was more racing down here for him! He ran well at Wexford (finished third), he was a bit novicey. The ground and everything suited him today so it's happy days. John Grant is one of his owners, he is ninety-one and he was here last night. Unfortunately he was a little bit sick today so he stayed at home. That'll give him a good lift. It depends on what the handicapper does now. He could go back hurdling as well. He is ground dependent and is fairly track dependent now too! We'll try and get him to win one somewhere else. If not we'll come back here in August. He was awkward early on his career, but in fairness to John Cullen he done a great job riding him before he retired. If you ride him up with the pace he just pulls too hard. You'd be saying to yourself how is he going to make up that ground, but he just seems to around here. Sean knows him so well now, and he just let him pop away early on. He is a ten-year-old starting to jump fences, and he doesn't take much work at home. David M O'Brien, trainer
