I'm very pleased. It looked a fast race and there was no let up in the pace. He jumped fantastic and I couldn't ask for any better. He'll probably go for the Fred Winter and we'll see what sort of mark he gets. He'll get an entry in the Triumph, the Fred Winter and maybe the Supreme Novice as well. W P Mullins, trainer

He jumped brilliant and got a brilliant ride as per usual. He ran a good race here at Christmas and Paul felt dropping back in trip would suit. He's in the Grade 1 here in two weeks time . the Moriarty. I don't know whether he'll go there or go to Cheltenham either. The Powers Gold Cup could be a race for him. Noel Meade, trainer

We bought him as a yearling in France and his grandmother is Pebbles . which is very interesting. He won a schooling bumper on heavy ground and everyone was wanting to know what he was. A group of friends of my sister's, in London, asked me if I had a horse that might end up in Cheltenham, a few years ago, and I said I did, but he was only two at the time and they would have to wait 13 or 14 months on him. They did it and here we are. It was a major inconvience for him to come racing today as all he does is eat and sleep. That's good for a Martaline though as some of them can be hot. I'd say he'll go straight to Cheltenham and have a racecourse gallop somewhere. He's very mature and forward and wouldn't be like the normal gangly Irish four-year-old. He'll be mature as anything there. A better race would suit him and a little better ground. Everything he's done since he arrived in the yard has been exceptional but until they put it in ink you never know. He's done that now. He works as well as Cheltenian .he always screamed that he was a good horse . while Al Ferof was quieter. Miss Elizabeth Doyle, trainer
