He's a good jumper and just when he asked him he got there a bit soon,. I fancied him a little bit the last day but I'd say two miles wasn't his cup of tea. Two-five today was perfect for him. He had a couple of good wins as a novice hurdler and then he couldn't find his way last year. He got to a mark of 110 last year and just couldn't improve off it. He's come back a nicer horse this year. Chasing is his game definitely. We'll see if we can find another handicap now.
