Cheltenham Tips

It was extraordinary last season, winning five Grade Ones - it was blemish-free,. He's got a lot to live up to, but we obviously think an awful lot of him. This is his first run out of novice company and that is always a little worry as you just never quite know, and this is a competitive race - it's by no means a walkover. He's got to give Gilgamboa 8lb and officially he is only rated 10lb better than him, and Gilgamboa has had a run and we haven't. He's ready to start off, but he will certainly come on for it. We'll be disappointed if he can't continue his winning ways, but you just don't know until they step out of novice company.
