It's great to be back. I'm doing OK in England and I'm loving it over there. Tom George and Fergal O'Brien are the two main yards I'm riding for. I was in France yesterday for Tom George. It's a lovely day to have a winner. He jumped well, but he got badly hampered down the back and I thought his chance had gone. He's a good ground horse so he'll probably have a break now.
