I'm delighted with that and the horse is a credit to all my staff and everyone concerned who had an input in getting him back to form. He has had his problems and the reality was that last spring we were nowhere with him . the sad thing was, he only had one race in his novice year and that was very frustrating. We have the luxury now of either giving him a break and prepare him for a spring campaign or else going for races like the Hattons Grace or Fighting Fifth Hurdles. I'll discuss things with Barry (Geraghty) before making firm plans and, at this moment, I couldn't say he won't make a Champion Hurdler. E J O'Grady, trainer
