He jumped well enough and we'll up him in class now,. He might come back here for the Kinloch Brae (January 19th) or maybe I should kick him up a gear and go for the Hennessy.

The trip and ground was ideal but he'll come on a lot from it. There should be a lot more to come from him as Paul said he wasn't doing a whole lot during the race. We got a bit of a fright at the last and I ended up shouting at the screen when Paul started easing up.

That was a class performance. He was always travelling well and Paul just bided his time. He winged the last and he'll make an exciting chaser in time. He has already won a point-to-point (for Andy Slattery). It is nice to have a winner in the absence of the boss.

He is a natural jumper. I'd imagine he'll be a two and a half miler for the rest of the season. He is in the Royal Bond but he won't go there unless it is really heavy. He'll more likely go for the Barry & Sandra Kelly Memorial at Navan.
