Clondaw gets up to justify favouritism

I'm happy that he won, but we probably should have made the running with him, to make more use of him.

Guitar Pete wins as Analifet pulls up

He is a smashing little horse. I brought him over to Cheltenham and he ran a cracker there on his last start. He has a good, tough pedigree and he will go back to Cheltenham now, for either the Triumph or the Fred Winter, but he will probably have another run before then.

1,000 for Russell as Light lands a gamble

Vuvuzela is King as Cooper doubles up

Bryan gave him a lovely ride. They went a right pace early on but then they stopped in front and this race tends to go like that as we won it two years back with Arklow Ger. He didn't jump well early on, but he jumped much better towards the end, and Bryan gave him a great ride.

Logic takes Leopardstown feature for Nolan

It is great to have no excuses. We decided to bounce out with him and if they went with us they went with us, and if they didn't they didn't. The ground was beautiful, but it was a little bit better than we would have wanted it. I was worried that he was going to be one of those horses that was talked up but never delivered, but now he has a Grade 1 win to his name and I'm delighted. We will see how he is in the morning as he is a horse that hits the ground hard. He has a great cruising gear, and while I would prefer to try and settle him, there is no point if it's not working. Champagne Fever made a bad mistake at a crucial stage, and we just kicked on from there and won the race.
