He's going to come on from it as well. He seems to have improved and strengthened up a bit. He was always going to be a nice horse but he's probably going to be a bit better this year. That trip was as sharp as he'd want, especially around a track like this, and he'll be better over further. Two miles is as short as he wants but he's a grand horse and he toughed it out well. We'll probably go chasing with him.

He's a grand horse and he probably wants further but he has a good attitude. He gallops and jumps. Jordan said he would have been an unlucky loser as he left his hind legs in the second last. The ground was very soft the last day but he ran well. He's run his race every day. I thought this might be a bit short for him but I needed to get a fourth run into him to qualify for the handicaps at Cheltenham.

He's a nice horse. That's just the start now of our bumper horses getting fit. We knew they were all a couple of weeks off running for the last couple of weeks,. He's a galloper. He's a horse that could run in a graded hurdle in the spring and then we'll put him away until next year. He won't run in another bumper. I'd say he wants two-and-a-half miles.
