I was very confident coming up here today - a few boys weren't and were saying why I was going up into this grade, but sure you have to. There wasn't much coming up for him so we took our chance and he did it well. He was a good winner that day (over hurdles in Navan) and it was a bit unexpected. Then Jack won two chases on him in three days. We freshened him up there for today. I think the plan is Cartmel in May - there's a bunch of boys will wreck the place win, lose or draw!. Even with Crawford's horse falling, we had him well covered but it would have been nicer to get a lead for a bit longer because he doesn't like being in front. I'd say Jack was happy I had the cheekpieces on him today. He had a bad run the last day in Leopardstown, but it didn't suit as they hacked and he just stays all day. He's not ground dependent, he was just too weak to handle the soft. He has strengthened up now and he can handle it. Good horses will go on any ground!. They are a syndicate from Clogherhead and they will enjoy tonight.
