I'm delighted with that. I thought it was a brilliant ride from Johnny as he's not easy this guy,. He jumped super for him and I loved the way he sat on him going around the top after jumping the fourth last. He's an exciting horse. I'd day the John Durkan will come too soon and we'll sit back and see with him. He'll get an entry for the two mile one at Leopardstown and we'll see what the ground is like. Obviously we have Sizing Granite for that as well. There's also a nice two and a quarter miler at Thurles in January. I think he loves that soft ground and we'll get our business done in the winter and then see where we are.
