He's just a little horse that, always over hurdles, I actually thought he was going to run a big race in a Coral Cup one year going to Cheltenham and never fulfilled that. He loves a bit of room; he's a little bit timid I suppose and being out there on his own he's just relished it and what a feeling you know, That trip, getting a bit of space away from horses and typical of Willie, you know, placed him right. I said to Willie I want to keep space on him and he said .if you think he'll jump for you doing that, go ahead and do it.

I'm delighted with him and it was a lovely performance. A lot of the credit goes to Colm Ryan who works with me and does a lot of the breaking and pre-training. Colm really built the horse up after a break and he came to me three weeks ago and has been terrific since. It was a smashing performance and if you look back at his Thurles run, he was green and got tired but did show a little bit. He has only came to himself and blossomed since. You'd like to think somebody will come for him. John and Dan (Hayes, owners) are local to us and I'd be astonished if they keep him long-term - maybe one of the top three boys (trainers) might come and buy him. Eoin O'Brien gave him a brilliant ride and is a real sure pair of hands.
