It was great to get it, he deserved it,. He had great runs and the form worked out very well, they were tougher races than you’d think for that grade and he was unlucky to bump into them. He had course form here and it was another great ride by Danny. He could go for another handicap hurdle or he might jump a fence, he’s a good solid jumper. We’ll see how he comes out of it. We could travel to England, he has loads of options. He’s a good honest horse and there will be more days in him. He’ll tip away for another couple of months anyway, we’ve never really tried him on soft. He’s owned by a big owner in the yard, Kevin (McConnell), so it’s great to get a winner for him as he’s a big supporter of the yard. Cian Collins, trainer
