I had a hunters chase winner with a hunters chase license last year so that's my second winner and my first since getting my restricted trainer’s license. He is a very nice horse, I thought he was an absolute certainty in his four-year-old point-to-point but everything that could go wrong, went wrong. A loose horse galloped into him in the parade ring and drove him mad and in the race, he basically fell and was pulled up. He was always highly strung and at Thurles the last day Adam dropped him in, but the horse went to sleep before flying home. We rode him with different tactics today and it paid off. I got him for only €8,000 at the sales and he was a beautiful mover and had a great pedigree. I thought a blind man would have been after him, so I was surprised to get him. Sean (Dalton, from Tipperary town) is looking for a good one for a long time and I'd say he'll keep him. We might go for a winners' bumper and will go summer novice hurdling as he likes good ground.
