Very good, jumped great and galloped all the way to the line so I am very happy with him. He's a very strong stayer and the further he goes, the better he gets. He could nearly have gone around there again. He’d a good run the last day and we thought he’d come on from it, but we thought it would be tough. Jack said he stayed very well and jumped brilliant. I’d imagine he’ll go for something at Christmas. I liked the way he stayed galloping. He travelled the whole way and he could be a real National Hunt Chase horse for Cheltenham.
