We will probably come back here for the Irish Champion Hurdle and then on to Cheltenham. My only concern about Cheltenham would be the ground as he probably needs two and half miles on good ground. Davy had a plan B today and he told us it was never going to turn out like it did in Newcastle. He wasn't doing a whole lot out in front today. He jumps really well and jumps well under pressure.
