He thrived on the conditions and had more time to fiddle his jumps and I never saw Darragh so happy,. He travelled over to Cheltenham fierce well but the ground had dried that little extra fraction for him and I was half-thinking of pulling the plug and not running him. I did feel he came home out of Cheltenham fierce well in himself and he loved these conditions today. I know you put your head on the plate a bit, but you can't hide. The way he jumped there, you wouldn't mind running him in a National on heavy ground but I'll leave that up to the owners. There is great prize money now, like the Caspian Cup over in Cheltenham, and great sponsorship and the money today was outstanding. Michael Winters, trainer
