Grangeclare West seals treble for Mullins
Grangeclare West won the bumper in the manner of a 2/11 shot to seal a Punchestown treble for Willie Mullins. Sat 29th May
I didn’t expect that now — I thought he would run well, but that was a top race. Paul was worried about him pulling too hard and he’d want to be as fit as he is because he just pulled his arms out for the three miles. To do that, on that ground and win like that going away was a huge performance. His jumping was excellent. He just came out of Paul’s hands at the first fence and from then on Paul was just trying to settle him back. He got him back jumping normally. He’s just a natural chaser.

I didn't expect that now - I thought he would run well, but that was a top race. Paul was worried about him pulling too hard and he'd want to be as fit as he is because he just pulled his arms out for the three miles.

He just came out of Paul's hands at the first fence and from then on Paul was just trying to settle him back. He got him back jumping normally. He's just a natural chaser. He might go for the Brown Advisory and Fact To File might go for the Turners. We'll see, it is a nice problem to have. We might come back here to the Dublin Racing Festival first. I'm delighted to win a Grade 1 at Leopardstown over Christmas.

I'm very happy with that performance. He's a decent horse who is improving, he had a little setback during the year so it's great to get compensation on a day like today,. He had been doing everything right. I think if things had done right for him during the season he wouldn't have been qualified for that race, he would have been better than that. He'll be one for novice chases next year, but we might go to France with him as he missed part of the season and he could go for something like the French Champion Hurdle. He'll stay the trip and he may as well get a bit of practice jumping French hurdles.

He impressed me considering he was so keen early on and jumped a bit big during the race.
