THERE was no crowd there but it made no difference to me as I got a great buzz out of leading up the winner of the Supreme Novices’ Hurdle.

Appreciate It is not my horse usually. Laura Tedstone from Birmingham looks after him and Donal Redmond from Donegal rides him out every day, but I was lucky enough to be asked to bring him to Cheltenham. I was confident before the race – I couldn’t see him getting beaten. He was so good at Leopardstown and he was in real good form riding out here, so I had no worries.
