It was probably the first time we were 100% happy with him today. He's on a different programme this year and different diet and it seems to have turned him inside out. He's a big horse and we were waiting for him to tell us when he's ready. He might not have been able for the training last year. He's still only six and if he's ok after today we'll aim for the Lexus Chase at Leopardstown. His owners have been very patient as he's had a very stop start career with ulcers but we hope that's all sorted now. You'd have to think he could be a Gold Cup horse after that. I just hope he's not a mud lark horse but I don't think he is.
