I've always thought the world of this horse. Last year I was of the opinion that he probably wanted three miles but I'd say I might have been wrong to be honest,. He wasn't right in Cheltenham, so look we'll put a line through last year. He was always bought to be a chaser and chasing is his game. He's a horse to look forward to. I'd say we'll keep him between two-and-a-half to two-six. That gives us loads of options. He jumped well in Tipperary, I know he made a mistake at the last. I'd say just going a gear faster and having to be more competitive suited him better. You'd have to be delighted with him. I'd say he'll go for the Drinmore now and I'd say he'll go straight there.
