A t least he got the job done but his jumping wasn't as good as it has been,. He was careless at a lot of them and the last hurdle was his best. He travels with enormous ease but even had me a little worried down the back. Even two out he was a bit sloppy but he just seems to cruise. Whether it's good ground or testing he just seems to deal with it. We've done plenty of schooling with him and on the whole I'm happy with his jumping. But he was very careless today. Today was about getting him relaxed and not tanking. The aim was to get him settled but maybe he was too relaxed and lackadaisical. I'm happy he got an easy race, as he's not an over robust horse, and the last thing we wanted was a tough race. He'll have an easy two weeks now. We schooled him during the week over nine hurdles and he was excellent. It wouldn't do at Cheltenham if he jumped like that and he'll have to improve. Philip Fenton, trainer
