He won the two hunters chases here last year. He loves it here and is a different horse around here. The other horse (Cause For Comment) is a much classier horse but this lad when he comes around here, he seems to light up. We'll work back from here next year!. He's unbelievably talented, but he just has his own ideas about it. He's a yard favourite. He would be a right horse for the Ulster National. I would look at that; sure it is a 50 grand race. Cause For Comment ran a blinder, he was unlucky. He was very lucky to stand up. He's finished for the season, but he will be a lovely horse for next year.
