He's been running great all year, and seems to have turned a corner since he won the claimer. He's got a bit of confidence,. We'll see what the handicapper does with him. He's okay on the turf as well and I'd like to get to Chester. He's plenty of options and seems to take his racing well.

It depends on whether he's claimed as to where he'll go next,. I'd like to keep him but he's there to be claimed. He's been a great servant. He's won five for us and been placed 15 times. He's dead tough and you could run him every week. Someone will have fun with him.

He'll probably come back here in two weeks time for a six furlong race,. Seven, six or five it doesn't make any difference to him. I thought the five might catch him out but it didn't in fairness to him. He's paying for his dinners and he likes it around here. I hadn't considered the all-weather championship races with him as he was too lowly rated but I might have a look now. There is only a mile race here and I don't want to go a mile with him in better company so I'll look at bringing him over to England.

He loves it around here over either six furlongs or seven (third win and oft placed). He's a simple horse to ride and loves to be up with the pace. He's genuine and tough, and for a small horse he carries weight well.

He's tough out. He loves the game and loves a battle,. Seven is probably his ideal trip. I don't know where we'll go now. There is a mile rated race next week but I wouldn't put him in with a penalty. I'd love to go back to Southwell with him. He's been consistent and has been knocking on the door.
