See also » Grade-1-brace-for-PottsTizzard-and-Power When I schooled him at Colin's last week I had no doubt two and a half miles would play to his strengths and he's travelled everywhere, jumped from fence to fence. He was never in any danger and running down to the last he met it well. He's a very classy horse and he could well be a King George horse, he could be as good over further, he's a very relaxed horse and has a great cruising speed. If we got nice ground that could be the race for him. It's lovely when this happens, especially after what it was like at Cheltenham, that was hard work. This boy could have won the Champion Chase, there wasn't much in it and he's got better with the trip, I think. It took all of two miles last year for him to get into third in the Arkle. He's not very fast at home when you think he would be but I think he'll make up into a King George horse. That's seven Grade Ones this season which is lovely. We had a good time early in the season and then we had to go through a bit of pain, but that's all gone now.
