Darkness' jumping was probably worse when he was going right-handed at Sandown last time, he just didn't enjoy it.
He got outpaced at a crucial time. He rather lacked the experience this time but he came home nicely.
I don't like missing links on my CV. I really want to win the National more than anything else but you know what the race is like. Anything can happen.
I've known he would win this race since Christmas. He just gets better every time I ride him.
I've met Willie John a few times. He was born within a mile of where I was born, and I know he's an absolutely amazing man, although I don't remember seeing him playing rugby, unfortunately.
It was a very good race and Clan Royal ran a blinder... hopefully next time will be my moment.
On the last of his winning starts earlier in the season he gave me as good a feel as any novice I've sat on and although I was a bit disappointed with the manner of that fall, I know that if he comes back to his best he will go very well.
The small field should not make a difference to him and it was a small enough field when he won it last year. He's a class horse as you would expect for a Champion hurdle winner.
