Everything was right for him today. The 2m6f on good ground and the conditions suited him,. His last two runs were good. He was unlucky in the Irish National also where he was brought down. For him Punchestown was heavy enough but he still ran well to finish third. We gave him a break then and were thinking about the Galway Plate but he wasn't going to get into that so this was the next option. The plan worked out. He jumped great and loves that fast ground. He deserved that as he's been a good horse. He'll probably go for the Kerry National if he gets into it although he likes a good galloping track.

He's a nice horse, he's always been a nice horse. He won his maiden up at Down Royal and then won a fairly competitive handicap at Fairyhouse in the Spring. He's a good ground horse and we'll keep him on the go while the ground remains good.

We're lucky to have her and she's a really good mare. We've always thought this was her ground, she won on decent ground at Leopardstown and again here today and hopefully we'll get decent ground when she goes to Punchestown for a 2m 2f Mares Race.
D T Hughes
He was a decent horse on the Flat in Germany. He won his maiden well up the North but then he went wrong on us. He had lung problems but he has been back to himself the last 6 weeks and it's a great start to the week.
