Being 2lb out of the handicap wasn't ideal but at the same time I was glad that Gordon (Elliott) didn't declare his top weight which would have put us 7lb out, and we probably wouldn't have run. He likes heavy ground and while it wasn't as heavy as he'd like it, he stuck at it well. Niall took the bull by the horns and rode him positively, so it was a great ride. Who knows where he ends up going but he has a handicap mark over fences as well so that is an option. . Lily Lawlor, who was involved in Dunguib, is involved in this horse along with the other half the Crohane Syndicate, who are local to myself at home.

He was bound to come on a little bit from his win the last day but I thought two miles (and-one) might catch him today,. I also didn't want to come back 14 days later but there was nothing else suitable coming up. We'll go steady now as he has run twice in 14 days and he will probably go back hurdling at some stage, although he jumps so well that he mightn't be as effective back over hurdles.
