After race at Punchestown Wed, 15th Oct, 2014 (1st) 
He's a tough horse. That's his third run in seven days and he had a run over fences ten days before that. If the ground stays good he might go to Galway in ten days time but if not he'll go straight to the sales unfortunately. I would like to try and find someone to keep him at home.

he's probably a 115 or 116 horse over fences so off that mark over hurdles he's entitled to win. The other day in Tramore he was too keen and never got time to settle. He's in again at Punchestown on Thursday; he's after being busy but if he comes out of this fresh, he might see another day out. He's in the November sales and the Mees (owners) always send two or three to the sales and he's one they picked out. He's one I wouldn't like to lose but they always replace them.

It's lovely that he has won a chase. He jumps brilliant. It's hard to believe that he's 90 over hurdles and can't win one (0 from 10 over flights). Andrew said he's a much better chaser than a hurdler.
