I was worried about the ground but it looked like a good opportunity and he stayed at it well. Rachael walked the track, was where she wanted to be and she was spot on, fair play to her. We decided we'd give Cheltenham a miss this year and have a go at this and luckily it worked out. I'm delighted to see him win another one. Once we switched out of the Champion Chase, today was the day and I'll speak to Declan (Landy, owner) now. We were toying with the idea of stepping him up to 2m4f at Aintree and the Webster Cup is an option, but is less than two weeks away. Unfortunately he had been on the same course as Energumene as a novice but he's only a young horse and I'm sure we'll head over to Cheltenham next year.

he settled really well which is key to him and that is just what we wanted. It’s brilliant for the Landys (owners) who are all here today. we’ve always thought he was a brilliant jumper and it was just unfortunate a few times last year. Punchestown was probably a run too many last season. This was always an obvious race to start off but I’m not sure where we’ll go next. I’d imagine Leopardstown at Christmas would be one and whether we do anything between now and then I’m not sure. The Tingle Creek and the Hilly Way at Cork would be the two obvious races between now and Christmas if we do run him again.

I’m delighted with that and Rachael was really happy with him. He took a little blow turning in and is having another good blow now so hopefully he will come on from that. It’s great to get him back on track. Obviously he was very disappointing the first day and hopefully we can keep the heart right. Rachael said it’s very testing ground and she thinks he’ll be better on nicer ground. He did a piece of work since Tipperary and worked well. He’s just been tipping away since and we keep monitoring the heart. Certainly before and after he runs now we will always check his heart. Christmas may come a bit soon but there is a nice race at Naas in early January. He can go there and if all goes well then to the Irish Arkle.

He always worked well but coming for his first run it was a bit of a surprise I suppose. He jumped well but ours have generally needed their first run. The favourite falling at the last obviously helped. Rachael said he picked up really well so who knows what would have happened.
