I'm absolutely thrilled, it all went to plan. Barry said that's what he was going to do . sit in behind the others. When he gave him a squeeze three out he knew he had a lot of horse. He clattered the first and it just frightened him a bit and he jumped a bit big as far as Ballyhack. He was straight and true where it mattered and when they were going a bit quicker he concentrated more. The Supreme Novices' is the long term target as he's a two-miler. We'll have to discuss plans with the owner but he'll have at least one more run before Cheltenham. He could easily run at Christmas (if the ground is good) and after that I don't know. He's only four and he's bound to improve a bit for more experience. I was a little bit worried about going right-handed for the first time as all his runs have been left-handed. When I saw him jumping left early on I thought that's what we had discussed yesterday. He's always wanted better ground. The whole family want it on top and I'd imagine he'll be better on better ground too. Mrs John Harrington, trainer
