He's definitely the best horse I've ever trained. Davy [Russell] wanted something to aim at so he dropped him back and I didn't really feel too confident about it but he really does love to battle. Next year the Cheltenham Champion Hurdle is the obvious target. We'll give him a break now. I've never won a champion hurdle before so I'm not too sure as to what route to go but he'll more than likely stay at home before he heads for Cheltenham.
