Cheltenham Tips

He stayed at it well. He was given a fair blow as he was out for a while and is just back in five weeks. That will leave him right for his next run which will probably be over hurdles. He is a good jumper of hurdles and he is very genuine and gives everything even with no whips today (as it was an apprentice race). Really heavy ground doesn't suit him as he is flat bred. I told Megan to sit in on him and take it up in the straight but they found it hard to get by the leader. He will probably go to Listowel now for a conditions hurdle or a handicap hurdle unless he pops out of this very well he could go for another flat race. I hope the handicapper isn't too hard on him.
