He's a very good horse,. It was his first time at three miles but I was confident enough he would get it. He gets any trip and has a bit of class. I wanted to get today out of the way and things are in the balance as regards Cheltenham. The lads (Gigginstown) have so many horses so we'll see how things pan out. He jumped his hurdles a bit big the last day but came down today and he's there as a hurdler or a chaser is we want him. I shouldn't have run him after he fell at Naas last year and he wasn't fully ready when he fell up the north but it's easy to be wise after the event. The World Hurdle could maybe be a bit too good for him but the ground is also all important and I wouldn't like to see him run on ground too fast. A J Martin, trainer
