I'm happy with that and he's improving. He's still a big immature type of horse and not that sure of himself. Today has showed us that the penny is dropping with him at least. Before this we weren't sure he knew how to win. Even working at home he'd be going up with horses not as good as himself but was finding it hard to go past them and we were finding it very hard to understand that. We changed a few things with him and brought him away from home and it kind of helped him. He has dropped his head a bit to gallop. Today though when he was coming to the second last and last, he was on his own, and I was thinking he wasn't learning a lot and would he stand up or fall when he jumps the last. Barry gave him a grand ride and he knows him well of course. It's good to get him there and he should learn a bit from that. Mentally and physically he has a good bit of filling out to do. If he stays sound he should be a grand horse jumping fences next season. He's 17-3 so he's big enough. The other thing is that the bit of nice ground helped him. The way he moves and travels that ground helped him. Oliver McKiernan, trainer
