Jockey Reaction – Danny Mullins
“Yeah it was unbelievable, the snow this morning was what I thought would help his chances. It was quite a testing ground here last year. And fairness to him, the last furlong was always going to be difficult, but he hit the line very strong.
“That was a great performance and he’s a good little pony.”
