He deserved to win a good pot on the Flat and he came from a long way back in the Cesarewitch. He’s held his form well and the plan was to be a bit closer to the pace today,. He’s very high over hurdles and I presume he’ll have a crack at another chase somewhere. We’ll probably freshen him up and find something around Christmas time.
