He missed the last a small bit but at that stage, had been in front from flagfall. This is a good horse who bumped into a really good one at Listowel the last day. I think he will eventually make a lovely three-mile chaser, and he wants softer ground and a longer trip than that. He was bought privately by a group of eight lads (the Preachers Syndicate) and was the dearest horse to have come into my yard in 40 years of training. All eight are here today and they're staying over so it'll be a great night. E McNamara, trainer
