He had a hood on because he gets a little bit hot in himself and we just felt with the noise here today on his first time at a racecourse it would help him. It must have helped him because he relaxed very well. When he (Danny Hand) asked him to go on he went immediately. We are delighted for him. I definitely thought he had an each-way chance today - we came here for place money in fairness. We didn't know how he would handle the track as it is not every horse than handles it. Some of the others probably didn't. He travelled away up front and he's a front-running type of horse. You can ride him handy and travel away. He didn't pull up going up the hill which is what I liked. You'll definitely see him in Punchestown in the final of this series. It will be a good race but he's qualified now.
