I thought Baraweez was in great form but the ground has probably just found him out. I knew Dream Walker would like it. It's great for Baraweez to come back here four years in a row and Dream Walker has now won it two years in a row. It's a matter of keeping them right and keeping their heads right. Dream Walker has run three or four times this year and never lifted a leg but he obviously likes it here. All the jockeys have given them great rides. It's a dream result to have the first three home and to win this race four years in a row. I think Baraweez will come back for the Irish Champions Weekend. He won it two years ago, and ideally on good ground he'll be a better horse. He seems to be coming back to form which is good. B Ellison, trainer
