Morning Assembly gets the job done
He didn't enjoy the race as much as he did at Leopardstown last time (2nd there at Christmas to Sizing Gold). There was a better type of ground and he seemed to enjoy it better that day. He caught a few hurdles there and landed awkwardly. To battle the way he did though . I'm very happy with him. It's a weight off my mind. I'll have a chat with Davy (Russell) and the owners to see where we'll go next.
Solwhit shows all his old dash
Very easy for Un Atout
Tennis serves up his best
I don't know whether we got it right or the horse is coming to himself. We decided to ride him more positively and it seemed to work. He's been a bit exasperating. He keeps promising but today is the first time he's delivered. At least today he showed on the track what he does at home. We took a chance running him here rather that the Boylesports Hurdle. I didn't think he'd get in but he'll get in now.
