He did it the hard way and jumped well in front. I think he pecked a bit at the last but it was a very good performance. We didn’t set out to make it but Paul wasn’t happy that there was enough pace so he went on. We are heading for the Arkle unless something else changes. He was fourth in a Champion Hurdle but we thought he would be going two and a half miles or more over fences. The first day he jumped he was very good and when you can jump you can go any trip. Demi Sang made a hash of the first fence and lost his confidence a bit so David tried to get him back jumping and he did. It would be hard to see him competing at Grade 1 level over two miles so he’ll probably have to drop down a Grade or go out in trip. I would prefer to go out in trip but we’ll have a word with Frank (Berry) and JP (McManus) and see what they want to do.
