Mick (Halford) recommended us and I’ve known Paul Rooney for a long time. He’s one of the real gentlemen in racing. Slieve Binnian ran really well on Guineas weekend, and then we put him away for this. He could be a Galway Mile horse and will need to go up a few pounds to get in, so we’ll see what the handicapper does with him. I’d like to have a go at Galway as he jumps smart and travels well. He hasn’t had many goes at a mile. He took a while to get going the last day but came home well and sharpened up a lot from it. David Marnane, trainer
