He's always threatened to win a good one but he's had a few hiccups. He stuck his head out well there and whatever he does before he goes chasing, over three miles, is a bonus. All the family want a trip and hopefully he'll keep improving,.

After race at
Punchestown Wed, 30th Oct, 2013 (1st)
He wears ear-plugs as he can be a bit hard on himself and all he can do is improve from that. He was plenty green in front and he'll learn a lot. He'll go for a winners somewhere now. His pedigree suggests he wants three miles. He's a big horse and the bit of time off crowned him . he had a bit of a leg. I'd imagine he'll stay over hurdles this year.
