He did that nicely. He jumped well and I particularly liked the way he quickened after he saw Danny on his tail. He gave him a squeeze after the second last and he quickened. He won't go anywhere over Christmas. There is a Grade 2 at Leopardstown in January that's a possibility. He needs more match practice and hopefully keeps improving. I'd say he'll be an RSA horse but we want to get a couple of runs into him before Cheltenham. Sambremont ran a cracker and I'd imagine he's coming into four-mile territory. He's a real staying chaser. W P Mullins, trainer
