He was entitled to do it. He's probably a better chaser. He's very slick and clever and reverts back to hurdles well,” . I thought about the Daily Mirror Chase but he was 6lbs wrong (with Fine Rightly). He'll go to Punchestown for a novice handicap chase. I did think about Cheltenham but the English handicapper ran him off 136 in Musselburgh and I didn't want him running off big weights so maybe next year.

It wasn't a surprise to me. He had a couple of good runs but he's had niggly problems with shins and the like. We never got a true run with him until six weeks ago. James Smyth did all his schooling before he retired and he worked him at the weekend and said he would go well.
