I had it in my mind that if he won here today that he would go back for the John Durkan and he'll probably go there now,. If he had been beaten I was thinking of the Grand Sefton at Aintree. Barry said he took a blow across the top and missed one but he got his lungs filled coming down the hill. I was very disappointed when he schooled at Punchestown recently but he did two very nice pieces of work since. If I hadn't seen him at Punchestown I would have fancied him a lot today. Long-term he will stay going. I was a bit blase with him last year. I put him away but didn't get rewarded. He is nine rising ten. E J O'Grady, trainer
