It was hard fought. Ruby said he was going to sit quiet on him today and try be there at the business end. That's exactly what happened. It's very very tough going, and ground I think that he doesn't like in particular so it's fortunate to get a win like that on that ground. He's in Aintree and that would be his owners preferred option so that's probably where he goes. Obviously I'll enter him in the Irish National here being a course winner but I'd imagine it's Aintree. I'd imagine he won't be going to Cheltenham. Ruby looked at the race and thought there was plenty of pace. He didn't think he needed to be involved too early and took a chance but he had the confidence in the horse to come through. I'd imagine if he had fallen four or five out people would have said he was never going to be involved anyway. He took a view on the race. I said go ahead, do that and let's see what happens. It worked out perfectly. W P Mullins, trainer
