He seems to come well at Cheltenham every year. He's an absolute superstar and we love him to bits. Jamie also gave him a great ride. It was a great result as we also had the second. If you have a plan, you have to try and do it right. We've had an unbelievable week. It's been a dream come true.

It was a bit of a cat and mouse race and a better pace would have suited. He's an honest horse. He'll go now for the Betfair Hurdle at Newbury on February 9th. We'll look for something in Cheltenham after that. A faster gallop would have suited him as he'd have something to race at.

He was unlucky to be still a maiden. Davy said he wasn't doing a whole lot in front and he just idled a bit and was looking for company. He will go for a winners race now before we send him handicapping.
