It looks like he wants a trip (first time to try three miles over fences). His jumping can be in and out, although he was a bit better today with the small field which gave him plenty of space. Phillip said that he met the last four spot on.

Barry said he got a bit hampered at the second last. He's a fair tool and will go to Cheltenham next month for a Novice Hurdle over 2m 5f. He needs a trip because he is not a 2m horse.

He's a big raw horse and has taken time to realise his potential,. He's probably as good a horse as I've ever had and if he's qualified he could run in the Cheltenham bumper. If not we'll go down the novice hurdle route.

Tactics are important. It wasn't Robbie's (McNamara) fault when he got beat in Punchestown as the race just worked out that way (finished a nearest at the finish third there). We rode him prominent last time and we were going to do the same again but Mikey said he was going to drop in. He'll have a couple of weeks off now and probably go hurdling then. He'll be better on better ground too.
