When this race was lost to the frost two weeks ago, Katie convinced me to wait and it has been worth waiting for. We always liked him but the star performance has to go to his owner, Eamonn Duignan to give a nine-year-old another chance. He cracked his pelvis and he'll probably go chasing because he is a fantastic jumper. Katie gave him a fantastic ride.
