See also » Bill-Baxter-makes-it-a-magnificent-seven-for-visitors He's a fantastic jumper and I was basically a passenger all the way you know. Warren(Greatrex-trainer) was keen to go wide and he seemed to enjoy being in his own comfort zone and his own rhythm. It panned out beautifully for me as I said. Very lucky. We came over this morning and back at 7pm tonight. It's another day but it's got that extra special tinge to it being Punchestown. We’ve always been keen to come here if we have the right sort of horse,. This horse has just been a star for us. He won the Topham two years ago and has found it hard since then, but he was on a dangerous mark today. I was a bit worried about the ground but Harry’s given him a great ride. We had a runner in the first chase and James (Bowen) came in and said ‘if I had been wider I would have had a right chance’. He came over on Tuesday and he’s a horse that loves going on a trip, like I do. He’s thrived since he’s been here. He was squealing in the morning. He almost ups his game when he goes away and we knew we had him in good shape. I was a bit worried about the ground, he does like soft ground, but as I said he was on a dangerous mark and he’s gone and done it so it’s brilliant. I’m all for having a go and it’s important that we all have a go if we have the right sort of horse. It pays off every now and then. It’s what it’s all about, competition is good.
