He's a dour stayer. That's what he is. I ran him in the Porterstown and was thinking 'will he get the trip'. I thought he should and he got it very well I thought. Had they raced a bit stronger then I think he might have collected. They only went a hack and he tanked along. He had a great weight today and got a great ride from Chris. Staying won it for him. We thought all along he could win a half decent race and he's been knocking on the door. I'll probably go back chasing with him. I had picked out the Grand National trial at Punchestown at the end of January. He's not a good traveller so for that reason we'll avoid going over the water. He's probably not high enough to get into Irish National but I see him going for it some day. Edward Cawley, trainer
