His form, third in an Irish National, before he came to us was rock solid. He had a wind op before he came to me and I'd say that's made a tremendous difference to him. I'm delighted to get him, he's a lovely horse and jumps amazing. David said he was a little keen throughout but he gave him a super ride. This was a starting point to see where we are with him. You can do everything at home but it's not until you are out on the track that you can really see where you are going. We'll see what the handicapper thinks after that today, and work from there. He was fifth in the Paddy Power last Christmas and that was the original plan, so we'll have to discuss things with Chris (Jones, owner) and see where we go. He should be an ideal candidate for Aintree and the better the ground the better he is. If it came up goodish I'd say he'd love it around there. Henry De Bromhead, trainer
