He’s a good horse, he was giving a penalty away there,. It was nip and tuck down to the last and Noel Meade’s horse fell. Jack thought he had the beating of him and I thought it was a good performance. He could be a nice chaser next year. He was bought to be a big chaser down the road, he’s a gorgeous horse. I doubt if we’ll see him again this year. He’s a lovely horse for the future. Gordon Elliott, trainer
