He [Willie Mullins] said to let him warm up a bit as he hadn't schooled him over Easyfix hurdles. I'm sure he's going to make a chaser in time. It's an honour to ride for Willie. I came here once when it first opened many years ago. It's in great condition and it's beautiful good ground. Dad is only after arriving in at the airport 10 minutes ago. He was in Australia watching Simenon finish third. This was the only horse he had that was suited to run today. It's great to get a winner on this day. He's a good horse, but he needs good ground and where he goes next is dictated by the ground. He might be let off and come back in the Spring. His jumping got better as the race went on.
