He can't do any more than win. He jumped well out of that ground. When I walked the course earlier it was tacky and I thought we might only be second. He's on track for the Champion Chase and will go straight there. He's a better horse on better ground, we know that from the form-book. I'm happy with him, and so was Tony. |
I've always held this horse in the highest regard. He has a high cruising speed and a lot of boot, and when you have that in a horse who stays as well, you've got yourself a real racehorse. |
We haven't made a decision just yet and we will wait until we see the confirmations. At this stage he will probably be declared (at the five-day stage) for both races. |
