He told ITV Racing: "I think the cheekpieces helped in the middle of the race.
"When they jumped off, I got into a good rhythm but I wasn't going to be the one chasing the ones in front. He's a really, really good horse and although Grangeclare West and Nick Rockett looked good in training, this lad wasn't telling me not to ride him.
"He is so good and has such an engine. He will gallop to the end of the world for you. I am really privileged. What a horse.
"Grand Nationals and Gold Cups are the pinnacle of the sport and I have them both."
