Anibale Fly returns with a win
He got there nicely but it was hard enough work I suppose on the ground. The only negative you would take was there was a bunch of us there turning in. You always like to see the chaff and the wheat apart a bit. He did it well so you couldn't fault him. It's hard work out there. For a horse first-time out you'd have to be happy. He jumped well and did it well. It's great to get that out of the way.

He showed a really good turn of foot down to the second last and away from it that he probably didn't possess as a bumper horse so it looks like he has improved a bit from last year. He really quickened well today. It was something he didn't do in bumpers. Patrick (Mullins) made plenty of use of him because of that. It's a good sign. I like this fella. I know there were very few runners but there was very good opposition.
Rossvoss puts it all together
That was great and it was a good pot to win. He was a couple of pounds out of the handicap and he had never run to his chase rating over hurdles before. He had 22lb to spare on his chase mark. He had blinkers on for the first time and it worked as he travelled. Ruby rode him the last day and said he was dossing and thought he was going to drop out at halfway. The only worry with blinkers was that he might run a bit keen in the heavy ground but he travelled super and jumped super. He's always promised to do something like that. He was a different horse today and ran to his chase mark. It's the first day when I've thought he had a chance and he has delivered. It's a nice one to win and he'll probably run in a chase next over Christmas.
