only Golden Silver's rating got him through that. He looked in trouble before the straight and Paul said he wasn't enjoying the ground which is very sticky. He is not a horse to ‘chase' one in front either. he'll run next in the Tied Cottage Chase at Punchestown in a few weeks time where he'll be joined by J'y Vole and Scotsirish too. He'll be entered in the Ryanair Chase and Champion Chase at Cheltenham but is more likely to run in the ‘Ryanair' as he is about 10lbs short of the standard for the Champion Chase.
