Darroun Triumph bound
Better ground suits and he's improving all the time. He'll jump a fence in time. Paul really got him jumping today and he seems to be more confident jumping on better ground. He'll go for the Triumph. Paul said he appeared to lose his action a bit turning in but he seems to be okay.
Charlie makes it two for Willie
He's probably the same as the first winner, Darroun, in that the better ground was a help. He had disappointed up to now and he looks like a spring horse. He was the same last year. He idled in front and I wouldn't be afraid to go out in trip with him on better ground. He'll get entries in the novice hurdles at Cheltenham and I'm not sure if he'll run before then.
Sir Des Champs progressing beautifully
He made a few errors there but he galloped on nicely from the last. He is improving slowly and he'll go for one of the staying novice chases at Cheltenham . either the Jewson of the RSA.
Citizenship overcomes adversity to land big success
Great day for Ted as Station gives him a double
I thought he'd run well but I couldn't say I fancied him strongly.
Smart Jezki makes it two for Harrington
He got into all sorts of trouble down the back but battled great. He's a full brother to Jenari and a half-brother to Jetson. We always thought he was a bit better than Jenari at home but don't ask me where we go next. We'll sit down and have a talk about it.
