Robert said they went very steady and he was a bit keen over the first three fences and he kept wanting to go,. He said it was a good thing he made a mistake at the second last first time around as he sort of spat it out after that. He was just brilliant. He was still cantering turning in, as far as I could see, and when he asked him he quickened up. I know he didn’t win very far but he still won and he wasn’t stopping. I have no idea of the plan and I have to talk to Alan and Ann. It makes for a nice decision. It’s my first runner in the Irish Gold Cup and my first winner. It’s very exciting. He looks like a three-mile chaser rather than a two-miler. Seven times he’s been beaten by Douvan, second five times and third twice. If he had won all those races he’d have started favourite for this race. Everyone was doubting that he would stay and I got a bit more worried when the ground got soft, as I think he’s a horse that’s probably better on slightly better ground. He’s in all three races at Cheltenham so we’ll see what happens. He’ll be coming out of the Champion Chase though!. They were all good Grade 1 horses so it was a fair test.
