This horse had colic in January 2007 and it was touch and go with him, he nearly died. Obviously he is coming back to himself and I'd like to thank J P [McManus] for being very patient and letting me do my own thing. We'll have to think about where to go next, The Boyle Sports Gold Cup at Cheltenham in December is a possibility. T J Taaffe, trainer
