He’s a nice horse, a big galloper. He’s a next year horse really. You might see him in Fairyhouse or somewhere like that for a bumper. He wouldn’t be a horse that would be travelling to Cheltenham; he’s a big baby. If you watch his point-to-point the penny only really dropped, and he got galloping, late on. It wasn’t ideal to make the running today, but we had to go on as there was no gallop. Gordon Elliott, trainer
