He just keeps improving. We were a bit worried giving the weight away today (giving five pounds to his two rivals as he won two chases). He got in close to the last but he popped over it and he jumped well throughout. We will have to step him up to graded company now and there is lots of good races over the winter for him now that we know he handles the heavy ground. The race at Galway that he won has worked out well and small fields seem to suit him as it gives him time to settle. Peter Fahey, trainer
