Chris leads the way in Ryanair

Captain Chris, successful in the Arkle at Cheltenham, confirmed his position as the season's top two mile novice chaser by landing odds of 4/6 in the Grade 1 Ryanair Novice Chase. Thu 05th May

After race at Punchestown Thu, 5th May, 2011 (1st)

We always felt two miles was on the short side for him. I know he won the Arkle but they say you need a two and a half mile horse to win that. We've often talked about going further with him, and ideally we would like to start him off over two and a half miles next season. The Amlin Chase (2m3f) at Ascot or the Haldon Gold Cup (2m2f) at Exeter are possibles. We are half thinking of the King George for him but obviously that's three miles and we don't know about that yet. Richard is very adamant that good ground is what he needs but he's a big horse and would not want it too firm. Soft ground in the depths of winter is not ideal.
