Cheltenham Tips

He's like a lamb at home, very easy going and nothing is a bother to him. He's a good jumper, and the more you push him the more he finds. We decided to run him here over two miles and a furlong, rather than a longer trip later in the week, to get him jumping quickly. He's got 11.5 in the Galway Hurdle and just 9.10 in the Plate. We'll probably go for the Plate as it would be boring to win the Hurdle again!
