He loves jumping, jumping is the secret to him. He's a horse that doesn't do a stroke at home. The hurdles just set him alight, he absolutely loves it. Good ground, he wouldn't be one for the winter. Two and a-half plus and he will stay three miles. I'd say that's why Richard Hannon sold him in the first place, he was gone a bit sick of the Flat. Next year, definitely (go on the Flat), but this year I'd like to keep him going over hurdles as he is enjoying it so much. We might have a look at something in England, the October meeting in Cheltenham could be a possibility. We like to travel with the horses. A good day. C Byrnes, trainer
