He's been a great servant and that's the way he likes to be ridden. A small field, drop him out and he switches off,. It opened like the Red Sea for him, he hand't enough petrol to go around them anyway. He's often run well off a break before. We thought he looked a bit chubby in himself and thought he might need it. Ronan said he just got to the line and gave a heave with him. It's nice to win another one with him. He had a little wind-op and that probably helped him a little bit as well, I'd say it was marginal enough but every little helps. He's fierce genuine but you just have to ride him that way and he often runs into traffic problems in bigger fields. The small field was ideal for him. M Halford, trainer
