It’s fantastic to back up the last night here,. All winter this fella has been showing the right signs. We thought he ran a cracker in a very hot bumper at Galway. He freshened up lovely and we were really pleased with him after, so we said we’d come and have one go here. It’s lovely to have a nice four-year-old coming through, that’s able to win a bumper. He has a helluva attitude. He got knocked around plenty again today, as he did in Galway. That will make a man of him now, and he’ll only come forward from that again. He’s won his bumper now so we’ll sit tight and won’t panic, we’ll just see where we are with him. I’d say he’s a horse for better ground and he could be an exciting horse for the spring. He wants decent ground. Ciaran Murphy, trainer
