That was a very good performance giving 14Ibs to the runner-up who looks like a very nice horse. The plan was to hold him up and ride him for pace but Robbie wisely did the right thing by going on. They pulled a long way clear of the third too (nine lengths back to Streets Of Newyork). He may go for the McManus bumper at Limerick next and then he might go to Punchestown. He is a big weak horse but he's all class. He is a super leaper, he jumps like a stag and he could have a huge future over jumps.
