The reason Alan (O'Sullivan, nephew) picked the runner-up to ride was because this horse's jumping hadn't been good enough at Mallow or Killarney, where he made three or four mistakes. Mick (Kenneally) had given him a great ride to win at Dromahane previously and, in fairness, he is a 134-rated hurdler so was the class horse in the race if he jumped. I've been lucky to get him as horses like him don't come around very often.

It was great to get Jack. He's a super rider and it was a pleasure to watch him going around,. He jumped great for him, stayed well and he loves good ground. The trip was a big help to him and he's learning on the job. I bred him myself, there's not a whole lot of him — he's very light and spindly. I actually sold another one to Tomas but he ran so badly the twice he ran I said to him I'd take him back and give him the pick of three. He picked him and I'm delighted for them that he's won. He jumps well and he'll jump fences too on fast ground. He'll keep going for a while anyway.
