Today was one of my best successes despite having won a Grade One,. It's nearly as good as winning at Cheltenham as he had a bad suspensory injury last year and we weren't sure if he would run again. It's great to get that out of the way. Beforehand on all ratings he had to be nearly a good thing but there is no such thing in racing. These type of races are his future. There is a race at Naas in a few weeks for him (Limestone Lad Hurdle) although it's over 2m3f. The Irish Champion Hurdle is also a possibility. Robert Alan Hennessy, trainer
