He jumped well on the whole and when he had to clever he was. Mark gave him a lovely ride and he was very cool on him,. There was a bit of drama throughout the race. I was delighted he was able to avoid that and he put in a good round of jumping. They went strong and fast and it tested a lot of horses' jumping. He was good an clever at the last. Obviously he made a little mistake at the last here at Christmas and it was good to see him learn from that. A bit of nice ground is important to him. He was a good hurdler, he was fifth in the Galway Hurdle and we were a bit disappointed with him but the form of the race has worked out unbelievably well since. He's very exciting and I'm delighted. He's won over two-and-a-half so he can go two-and-a-half. It think he needs a strong pace and we'll stick at two for the time being. We'll see how he comes out of it but the Arkle now would make a lot of sense. It's going to be an even bigger test there and there'll probably go even faster. I couldn't be happier and winning a Grade 1 is massive. Us And Them ran a cracker and he jumps well. He's an outstanding jumper and would have a chance of going to the Arkle as well. Aintree might suit him too. We'll see how they come out of it and make a plan then.
