I was a little worried as I had five other runners today and none of them shone so I was thinking this could be one of those days, but he got the job done. He was workmanlike and was very free with Paul over the first three fences. He didn’t get too high (in jumping) and Paul was trying to not let his head go and didn’t want him running too free. He relaxed at the second fence down the back straight and was able to do things properly. If he needed a race, Jack Kennedy (on runner-up Fil Dor) was there to test him and he did.

He did his job well because Dinoblue had worked very well during the week, and I thought if he made any mistake then she would definitely give him a race. Mark was very happy with her, so it was a good test and not a freebie by any means. She was getting 7lb from him and she is a good mare. He was very clean today and very good. Paul just sat very quiet on him, and he appreciated that and did his job. I’m delighted all the owners are here and they love coming to Ireland to race. They have raced in France and England extensively, but they say the experience here is way better. The appreciation Irish people have for racing is huge which you don’t get in other countries.

It was a nice performance, hopefully now he’s just coming to himself,. I think he should improve again for a bit of nicer ground as the spring goes on and the final of the series in Punchestown is going to be the big aim for him. We had him qualified already and this race just fitted in nicely.

I was wondering about four fences out had Danny (Mullins, on Dysart Dynamo) stolen a march but Paul said the minute he pulled his lad out and said go, he just lit up underneath him. He was a bit ring rusty over the first few fences. He looks all over a two-miler. He can go up in trip and I’d have no problem going two and a half as he’s nice and relaxed. He’s improving all the time but the way he does things over two miles he may stay at that. Paul is all the time pulling him back to keep the lid on him. Dysart Dynamo doesn’t know when to give up and that might even be his downfall. It was great to see him getting up at Cheltenham, he got a horrendous fall but he got up shook himself and he’s been fine since.

He travelled as well as I was hoping the whole way. Paul said he hit a flat spot down the back but then when he picked him up, he came alive under him. I didn’t watch the finish as I was trying to watch our other horse who had fallen, but thankfully he’s OK. It’s good to get on the board early in the day. It was a bit of a worry at the last but I thought, all being well, it looked like he had enough in reserve at that stage. He has a habit of brushing through the top of his fences but it is not something we are practicing! Like a lot of French horses, he can find a fifth leg due to all the schooling they do early in their careers. I’m not looking to up him in trip yet, I always think if a horse is comfortable at two miles they are easier to train and keep sound, so I’m hoping he’s a Champion Chase horse for next year.

He's just improving all the time. At the start of the year we were thinking maybe we should go out to two-and-a-half but what he did at Christmas and again today it's definitely the Arkle. You could see every horse had a chance at different stages of the race. The one negative was when we made the mistake at the fourth last but Daryl blamed himself for that, he said it wasn't the horse's fault. Then he came back on the bridle again and I thought 'this horse is travelling' and he just did everything right. They were some very good horses in second, third and fourth so to win 10 lengths in that type of a race, he's goes to Cheltenham with a real good chance.

He’s a lovely horse, a real chaser in the making. He had a hard race in Aintree so to come back from that and put in a battling finish like he did there was very good. I’d imagine we will look forward to going chasing with him. He’s a big tall horse and is only learning how to race.

He’s a nice recruit for Simon Munir and Isaac Souede. He shows me plenty at home and Paul said he was going easy at all stages. He does everything easy at home and showed me the same here.
