He has been threatening to win one of them for a while, he has been running well in them all. The conditions race suited him and the jockey (Jack Kennedy) gave him a great ride,. He did (jump well), they are big fences around here. He (Kennedy) said if he was to ride him again he would probably hold onto him even a bit longer. He doesn't do a whole lot when you let go of his head. He had to pick back up so it's grand. He's got loads of experience so he might be okay. Gordon Elliott, trainer
