“If you want to be critical of him you could say he was a little bit novicey over some of his fences – but it’s his first start in a chase – these fences take plenty of jumping.
“Overall, I thought he jumped very good and he’ll come on plenty. We know he has the engine and today was about getting around and seeing how things go.
“It’s unbelievable to get the chance to ride a horse like him,” added O’Keeffe.
“I was delighted and it was lovely to see the way he jumped,” said De Bromhead.
“He was a little bit sketchy at the last but I think Darragh was just trying to get him over it.
“I couldn’t be happier. That’s what we were wishing for today. He was tanking away and I thought he was loving it.
“I don’t know where he’ll go next. There’s the race at Limerick over Christmas but I’m not sure. We just wanted to get that out of the way. We’re in no panic over what we do next.”
