it's a big relief- it was nerve-wracking watching him going around there. He jumped very well and Paul said he was just so idle on his own in the middle of the race, he didn't even think he was in race. He had to roust him up down the back but once he got racing he was fine. Lack of company was a bigger worry for Paul than anything else. the ground is very, very testing out there. We are happy with his performance, he did what he was asked to do. We just hope now that he comes out of it sound and well and we will plan for the Festival. That's the first hurdle jumped anyway. Half way around today I was thinking it would have been easier to go to Leopardstown because there would be less focus on him. When you come here you have to win and you have to win nicely and he did all those things. I usually like to do what has worked before and hopefully it will work again. A lot of ours are improving for their first run of the year and I'm expecting him to do the same. W P Mullins, trainer
