I have been looking forward to that for a while. He schooled on his own at Punchestown on Monday and was very good and my only worry today was if other horses took him on over the first few fences. I know he has won over three miles but he has plenty of speed and Robbie took him back after the third last and also between the last two. He'll run in a 2m1f Grade 3 novice chase at Navan on December 6 and will then probably stick to two miles at Christmas. I'd rather keep to that trip than bottom him out but he'll end up over 2m4f.
