Michael (O'Leary) really gets the credit for this one as I wanted to give him an extra few days and go for the Clonmel Oil Chase. He said they had no runner in this and to let him take his chance. Michael is keen to support all these Graded races. It was a good performance giving them plenty of weight and he'd be better over two and a half. He could go for the Durkan.

He's a grand horse and the conditions suited him,. You don't know what would have happened if Barry had stood up but we got the luck of the draw. Bryan said he was travelling but for me they were travelling as well as each other. We might look at the Ryanair in Fairyhouse for him. Over two miles he definitely needs that ground but I'd say he might be alright on a bit better ground over two-and-a-half.

Gordon Elliott

After race at Punchestown Sun, 31st Jan, 2016 (1st)

I thought he wanted a bit further but it looks like two miles is his trip and he settled a bit better. We won't get too excited, and will try to find something similar,.
