That's great. He deserves that in fairness to him. He's always gotten plenty of stick and people have said he's been disappointing but he's a dual Grade 1 winner now. I'll have to talk to Michael and Eddie but if I had my way he wouldn't run until Cheltenham and go straight for the Ryanair. I have to discuss it with the owners as they have a lot of horses. He won't go to the King George. He's a year older now which makes a difference but he was never a bad horse last year and things didn't work out for him. He might have had a bit much last year and we'll try and train him differently. He had to do it the hard way today. They all came to beat him but he picked up and galloped all the way to the line.
