It was a good performance. It’s a great race to win, because Tommy Carberry was my hero when I was a young fella growing up,. He looked to be in control and he stretched out well to the line. He’s an improving horse and the blinkers certainly make a difference to him. He’s effective on that ground and it looks very necessary. He could go to Punchestown for the two-and-a-half mile opportunity race but it depends on ground. We’ll see how he is, there is no such thing as an easy race on very heavy ground. We’ll take our time with him as he likes to be fresh. Philip Fenton, trainer
