He has great heart, great will to win, which is a big help as the ground is hard work . testing. Cheltenham and Fairyhouse were brilliant and now this . it's out of this world. I'm thrilled for the girl that looks after him. A Grade 1 is a Grade 1 and it's fantastic to win one at Punchestown. We would have settled for third turning in and I said at that stage that we'd gone one step too far by coming here. We didn't really have anything to lose though and he is obviously a real tough sort. Fair dues to him, he fought it out from the last and Tony felt at that stage that the other horse (Trifolium) was coming back to him.
