Jumping is his thing and a big track like this a horse like him can excel. That's what he did. Down the back you are winging and winging but he's taking them on and you have to go with him. You are taking a punt when you are doing it three or four times in a row. But 10 strides from the last I'm saying 'come here, we don't need anything fancy here!'. He's just one of those horses with a good attitude and he wants to go on and wants to do it and wants to please. He's rated 157 and I know he was very impressive today but I'd say it was just the style of racing suited him. if he's in a handicap off 157 it could work for him as well. It's hard to know (how far up the ranks he can go) but he was good fun today. We're delighted with him and he's doing everything we're asking of him. His jumping is slick and the one question mark we would have is the real heavy winter ground. He seems to be in good form all the time at home. We'll follow the ground and follow the money. Leopardstown could be his track with all the fences as he loves the jumping. He's a dream of a horse. E Bolger, trainer
