He’s a lovely horse and we got him after Listowel. We’ve been tipping away with him. He’s a beautiful type of a horse, a real chaser. He’s owned by a lovely women (Carol Ginn Mole), a lady, who loves the game and loves racing. I wanted to run him at Christmas but she said to me about three weeks before it that she was going to England. I said if she wasn’t around I wouldn’t run the horse so we waited for here and picked this race. He jumped well. If the (omitted) second last had been in it would have suited us a bit better but he fought back well. He gave him a great ride. I’ve nothing planned after today. We’ll take it step by step. He liked that ground. He’s a big horse and you’d imagine he’ll go on heavy ground. These big galloping tracks suit him. There might be something in Leopardstown towards the end of the month. He was placed there last year. He ran a great race over hurdles one day when fourth behind Golantilla in a maiden hurdle so that’s an option also. Patrick Neville, trainer
