Paul (Townend) gave Irish Invader a super ride, took the initiative from the start and jumped from fence to fence.

After race at Thurles Tue, 13th Jan, 2009 (1st)

I told Ruby to make plenty of use of Irish Invader because he doesn't have that many gears. He needs to race up with the pace because he jumps so well. We'll go for a conditions race, around two miles, again next.
