I got a good bollocking off Willie for missing the start in the Plate yesterday so I wasn't missing the start today!. I jumped the first in front, I thought Felix Desjy would be making the running. I got over to the rail, dropped a gear and Denis O'Regan was the person who has gone by me. He wouldn't be known for setting strong fractions so I said I was going to get out from behind him and try and get a clear run. As long as Denis was in front I was happy we weren't going too fast. He had 3lb more than Sharjah and that was good news for me, those big weights. The race was run to suit him, the fact that it was good ground and they went steady. With a real strong gallop the weight would have told a bit more. Paul makes the decisions. Aramon was the only one I could ride at the weights. Paul was in two minds about what way to go. In the end weight swung it for him towards Buildmeupbuttercup. I just texted Willie saying Aramon was the only one I could ride and he said fine. He has to be a Champion Hurdle horse after that. He was a very good novice and a bit like Sharjah lost his way then but his run off top-weight in the County and win off top-weight here, it looks like he's getting his mojo back. That could put him up to 160 which puts him within 3 or 4lb of the top horses in the land. I'd imagine it'll be Grade Ones from now on. He's better on good ground. He could be a horse for Far Hills in America but maybe in a year's time. I haven't had a chance to talk to Willie yet but I
