Cheltenham Tips

Barry (Geraghty) rode Heaney the last day he ran and told me to drop him out next time out. I told Paul (Townend) to take his time today and he said that he even arrived there too soon. He was pushed a bit wide coming down the hill and was forced to go with the flow and produce his challenge when he did. Heaney will be sent chasing sooner rather than later and while the track was not ideal, he loved the ground.
