Keith was disappointed with his jumping, he said his heart was in his mouth the whole way. He said he wasn't happy with his jumping and that has been his achilles heel. That is why he is rated a wee bit lower than over hurdles. I dont know why, he jumps well at home but when he goes to the track the jockeys never seem just as happy as they should be. He wouldn't have blew you away maybe over the last two - Keith said they were his best jumps. You say that (on a fair mark), it looks a fair mark because of his hurdle rating but he has only won beating a fairly exposed horse. I don't think the handicapper can be too hard on him and maybe give him another chance. Possibly step him up in trip and give him a wee bit more time with his jumping. He's still big and raw, he's a big baby. He still needs a bit more time, he's still a bit weak and you can see there is a long space between his runs to try and let him strengthen. Keith is a horseman, he hunts them around. He's very, very good.
