He’s improving. Funnily Paul thought the nicer ground suited him and Ruby thought the soft ground was too soft for Clondaw Warrior,. He jumped fantastic. He got a good lead early in the race and made sure it was a good pace which is what he wants. The race was run to suit him. I’d imagine the Stayers Hurdle would be his owners preferred option. He couldn’t do anymore than win here. We’ll have a look but I’d imagine that’s what the plans will be. I’m disappointed with Clondaw Warrior as I think he’s better than that and I think better ground will suit him better as well. Looking at his legs he had muck right up to his fetlocks. I’d say he was digging into it and it wasn’t suiting him. I’d say it’ll be Cheltenham with him. I don’t think he’ll be going to Dubai. I think he’ll improve from that. Even though he’s had all those runs he looks big. He’s a horse that does himself very well and eats like a horse.

I was happy with what I saw and I don't think he made any mistakes. I was very happy the way he jumped the last three and he had to kick on over the last two,” . I have no plans yet but he's in all the good ones (over Christmas) but I'd like to keep himself and Douvan apart. He could step up in trip but I'll see what I have at Christmas. I hope to have the same problem in three weeks time!

I'm wondering did we go for the wrong race at Cheltenham! I didn't think he'd go in the conditions as it's very tacky and soft but he handled it very well. He'll go to Punchestown and, on that run, it looks like he'll stay at that trip. Nicholls Canyon will run at Aintree and we can make a decision after that what to do with them (at Punchestown). He'll go chasing next year.

he was well-in at the weights and seemed in good enough form. This was a much lower graded race that the Gold Cup but after Cheltenham, you never know how they are until you run them. He jumped well in front and age isn't catching up with him yet. He might be one for the Grand Steeplechase de Paris, over 3m5f, but I don't know what Willie (Mullins) might have in his head.

Shaneshill's work was very middling coming into this and he was fourth choice in the race among our work riders. It was a brave ride from Jamie. He felt he was going well enough and took the bull by the horns; I thought he had gone a bit too soon but he stayed on well. Jamie felt he'd get the speed horses off the bridle and he looked a stayer there. He could be one for staying novice hurdles next year.

That was good for a four-year-old having his second run in a month, and I was very impressed with him. I was surprised with myself running him twice in a month but I'll mind him now. He looked very, very good. Patrick thought he was even better on the better ground. That bodes well aiming for March.

he did it the hard way. He came from Wilson Dennison's and came highly recommended. He'd been very green at home and it's a pleasant surprise to see him do that in a good field of bumper horses. I'd imagine there's plenty of improvement in him and I'd imagine we'd be looking at a winners' bumper at Christmas for him next.
