€œThat was nice, but it is what it is. I was disappointed with his first two runs over hurdles. He just doesn'€™t look a natural hurdler, but he jumped immaculately today albeit a bit sloppy over the last two. €œWe'€™ll run him again in a Grade 2 or Grade 3 and see what happens. Going that bit slower helped him pop them. All of his family are soft-ground horses. €œHe should reach a higher standard over fences. He'€™ll go chasing next season.

.He was very backward. If he had won the last day we might have pulled the shoes off and left him off but we'll have to think now about giving him one more run in a bumper,.
