He did what he's being showing me all winter. He had one blip and his last work was bad but we took a chance and ran thinking that that was something out of the ordinary. There didn't appear to be anything afterwards. Patrick said he's a good strong horse and he galloped all the way to the line. He didn't get tired. He's a good staying type and is going to keep improving. He's certainly qualified to go to Cheltenham and we'll think about it and see. There are races to be won at home too. A strong stayer is what you need at Cheltenham. The owners don't have any objections about going there. Last year they just didn't have one that was good enough. W P Mullins, trainer
