I didn't expect that now - I thought he would run well, but that was a top race. Paul was worried about him pulling too hard and he'd want to be as fit as he is because he just pulled his arms out for the three miles. To do that, on that ground, and win like that going away was a huge performance. His jumping was excellent. He just came out of Paul's hands at the first fence and from then on Paul was just trying to settle him back. He got him back jumping normally. He's just a natural chaser. He might go for the Brown Advisory and Fact To File might go for the Turners. We'll see, it is a nice problem to have. We might come back here to the Dublin Racing Festival first. I'm delighted to win a Grade 1 at Leopardstown over Christmas. W P Mullins, trainer
