It's not a big surprise as we were very hopeful beforehand. It's funny the way things work out. Andrew was on standby as third choice after Barry [Geraghty] had to ride in England and if Paul [Townend] was required by Willie [Mullins]. He gave him a lovely ride. The Supreme Novices Hurdle looks like his race at Cheltenham. They generally get the easier ground on the first day of the Festival and that should be OK. He's only a four-year-old so he needs to be looked after a bit. E J O'Grady, trainer
