I took plenty of positives and from the last home he found plenty as well which is what you'd like. He made quite a bad mistake at the third last — he landed out on his head a bit — but he was quickly back on the bridle. When you look at his form last year he was upsides Thistlecrack when he fell at Aintree and he's favourite (for the World Hurdle). Our horse is going in under the radar — he's won a grand Grade 2 here — if he could be placed or win a World Hurdle it would be great. Next year is what we're dreaming about though, as he's a real chaser in the making. In fairness to him he has been beaten by good horses before and I'm very happy,. I'll discuss things with Gigginstown and while he hasn't a whole lot of racing done, I imagine he'll go straight to Cheltenham now.

he'll make into a nice horse but is still a baby. He took his time to quicken but when he did, he did it well. The penny has to drop with him yet though. He'll keep me going for next season but I've no plans with him although he's an exciting one to have.
