I'm greatly relieved as he's not done one piece of work. He's so much heavier this year, and the ground has not been soft enough to do anything. I was on tenterhooks. Hopefully that is the start of a very good campaign. There is a race for him back here in four weeks time (Grade 3 Klairon Davis Novice Chase).

He was very relaxed today and never turned a hair beforehand but Mark said he came alive at the second last and he was delighted,. I'll have to chat with JP and Frank (Berry) to see what they want to do. The plan is to have one more run this season, and it will either be the Champion Hurdle or the Ballybin Hurdle (Grade 2) at Fairyhouse on Easter Monday. They usually have some ease in the ground on the first day at Cheltenham. He did a bit of work on good ground the other day before the rain came and I was thrilled with him, although I wouldn't say he'd want fast ground. He's gone through the gears this season winning a Listed, Grade 3 and now a Grade 2, so it's logical to keep going. I look at him as a chaser for next season.

He won quite well and I'm happy. We think he's nice but I don't know where we will go now. It's very difficult with a four-year-old in their second season. I wanted to see what would happen today and although he might not be able to ride again I'll wait and see what the jockey says. I thought he would have to be good today to win as although he was well fit enough to run there is loads of improvement in him and he gave a right good blow. Ruby was impressed with his jumping and down the line I see him as a Grade 1 chaser hopefully as he's just shy of 17 hands.
