Paul(Townend on Poniros) joined me on my inside which I wasn't too worried about and he's stayed all the way from turning in. He wouldn't be the quickest horse in the world but he's got a high cruising speed and he's probably be one for a bit further next year. He's well able for this trip at the minute. He jumping was good all the way around. I got in underneath three out a little bit but I dropped the revs on him a little bit there. I got to the front but I didn't want to be doing too much from there to turning in. He was just filling himself there and he's kicked off the bend. These are big days, it’s been a big week and a great week for the Donnelly family. Two winners like that is pretty special. We tried to get in the way yesterday, it was a bitter pill, but well done them. Now we’ve done it together. This is a fantastic place, we love it. This is a proper horse for another day. He deserves it as much as everybody. I wouldn’t say he was unlucky not to win in Cheltenham, he couldn’t do anything about it at the time and we got a bit of revenge there. He’s a lovely horse for the future, you wouldn’t be surprised if he didn’t come back over fences next year. I don’t know, it’s early days and it’s only the fourth race of his life. He’s a big baby to be doing juvenile hurdles against Flat horses so fair credit to him.
