I was hoping to get soft ground for him somewhere, I always thought he wanted winter ground and that he would be okay when he got winter ground. I was within an ace of taking him out but then thought sure we'll run him and leave it. I didn't give the owners any great encouragement or any encouragement with the ground, I just thought it wouldn't be soft enough. He's looking better than he has been all year. He just seems to have turned a corner but we'll leave him out anyway because he is a soft-ground horse and we'll leave him until next season. He stays, stays, stays and just wants three miles. I'd say he will jump fences as well. Sean said he was just a different horse today. Noel Meade, trainer

The Stewards requested a report from Noel Meade, trainer, as to the apparent improvement in form of Seeyouinvinnys, placed first, as compared with its recent form. Noel Meade reported that his charge ran lifeless and looked dull in himself when disappointing here on the 24th March. Since then he was given time to freshen up and looked very well in himself during the preliminaries today. In his opinion he felt that the break between races was the contributing factor to today's improved performance. Having considered the evidence the Stewards noted the content of the report
