he's pretty straightforward and I think the trick was he got a holiday over Christmas.The last day he probably just didn't fire, we freshened him up and planned for this a few weeks in advance. He's tough to pass and when we are working him, he likes to be in front. The other day I was very impressed with him in his work and thought he was in great order. He has won twice here and loves it.

He's a grand little horse. We just freshened him up and a smaller yard like ours probably worked a treat with him. I'm gutted for Rory Cleary (rode Princess Plumeria who finished last) who has rode work on him. He rode him the last twice and told me that he probably wanted a stiff six and something with a bend. The girlfriend Sarah rides work on him all the time and we've been riding him in behind. He's a different horse when we get him in front. Gavin said he was from a bad draw to try and get there but when he did get his head in front, even when the second horse came, nothing was going to get him.

Sam Ewing rode him in the claimer the other day and thought stepping up to seven might suit him but we already had him declared for this so we said there was nothing to lose, that we'd be positive and see how he gets on. His mark was blown after finishing tenth in the Coventry last year, when only beaten a few lengths, and if he couldn't win a maiden he was never going to win a handicap. He just needed to find his level. He'll have options over five, six and maybe even seven. We'll keep him busy. He only cost £8,000 and we were actually told that we'd never keep him sound. We got a small job done on him when we got him back and touch wood he hasn't had a lame day.
