It looked an ideal race to go for. Conditions suited him so it was the right race to go for,. I'd say he remembered the quick(er) ground in Leopardstown early on but the further he got the better he jumped. That could be it for the year unless Punchestown came up very soft. He'll not go to Fairyhouse.
