That was brilliant, it was some round of jumping to be fair. I was a bit worried beforehand that he had been very exuberant at home, standing off outside the wings. I was saying ‘if he gets one of these wrong, it’s not going to be good’. I’d say when he’s going on in a race, going faster, he does know what he’s doing even though he’s very exuberant. He’s a very good jumper. Michael had done a good bit of schooling on him, he knows when you see a long one on him just to go for it. I didn’t really want to go to Listowel as the fences are a little bit bigger and they are trappier. I wanted to get that out of the way, so we can afford to sit back and chill now a little and see where we go. We’ll probably look for a graded race somewhere. The Florida Pearl at Punchestown at the end of November is three miles - we’ll see. He’s only in nine weeks as well, which is a fair trial of him. He only came in on the first of July. He’s only tipping away, but he has a lot of natural ability - he’s a very good horse. It’s unreal to have a horse like him, I’m just pinching myself every day. It’s great. Declan Queally, trainer
