He's a fabulous horse and as he's still only seven going on eight we hope there's still a lot more to come from him,. When he won this last year he beat Valseur Lido very easily and he's a very good horse in his own right, so you'd have to think a repeat performance would be good enough to win.

I was thinking going to the bend 'there's a horse coming up my inside. There's no room there, best of luck!' The next minute I collided and I felt it hitting off the back of me and I was thinking 'gees I hope there's no-one on that as you couldn't be going where he was going'. Then when I saw him coming loose I was thinking 'gees maybe that's why it was happening, he was loose'. There was a good bunch of horses there. I did expect something to be coming to my tail turning in. He was second in a Gold Cup as a six-year-old to a very, very good winner. There's a long way to go. I'm sure he'll run a lot more in the Lexus when he takes on Don Poli and a few more. That'll be a helluva race. Valseur Lido will appreciate stepping out in trip, and both of them will come on a lot from that run. Henrietta Knight said he (Djakadam) will win the Gold Cup so I’ll quote her.

it's fantastic to win the race six times; it took me long enough to win my first one (Micko's Dream in 2000). On His Own won this off top-weight and was only just beaten in a Gold Cup so we'll have to think of going the same way with this horse.

He had one or two hairy jumps early but was fantastic after that when Ruby sent him about his job,. He's a natural and has great scope for jumping. His pedigree suggests he'll have no problem going three miles. He'll get a couple of nice big entries now. Ruby couldn't get a pull of him to pull up and that tells us he had a huge amount left in the tank.
