I'm sure the handicapper can't be too hard on him for that. His jumping technique will probably be better over a fence and that's where his future will lie.

That was a lovely run. I think he will be quite a nice horse. The drop of rain did him no harm. The ground was much better than when he ran in a winners bumper here, the ground didn't suit him that day.
