Jockey Reaction – Mark Walsh
“He can be a little bit keen, but he settled perfect today, he jumped and travelled brilliant. I was happy the whole way down the hill.”
Trainer Reaction – Joseph O’Brien
“He was running on winter ground his last few starts, and we were always hopeful that when he got better ground in the spring festivals that he’d progress.
“I didn’t expect a performance like that, he really stepped up today.”
