From the connections
“Daddy Long Legs being back to a flat track and quick ground suited him. He's in graded territory now. I don't know if he's good enough for those good Grade 1s but that's the sea he is swimming in now - David Casey, assistant trainer.”
“Daddy Long Legs wasn't up to soft ground in the winter and looks in a different league on this ground. He is a good horse I think. With the pace he showed he could easily go back on the Flat - Willie Mullins, trainer”
“His last two runs, Daddy Long Legs just struggled on the really heavy ground. He'll be one to go through the summer and could be a high-class Flat handicapper. He possibly could be a Galway Hurdle horse - Patrick Mullins, jockey, speaking on Racing TV.”
“Daddy Long Legs is smart, he quickened well. He had been working well, he felt a natural from the first time I schooled him. He won as we hoped he won - Paul Townend, rider”
