€œThat was lovely. Coming here I was very much afraid of the ground. €œHe's much lighter over hurdles so we said we'd chance coming here. €œHe could go for the Pertemps at Cheltenham, we'll see what weight he gets. He might have to go for another one. €œWe'll stick him in a handicap and if he gets a nice weight he'll go straight to Cheltenham. The better ground in Cheltenham will be a big, big plus for him.
