Cheltenham Tips

All he wants is a properly run race and he got that today,. That's all we wanted all season. The Fighting Fifth they absolutely walked and sprinted for three furlongs. He's absolutely brilliant to jump - the fastest jumper I've ever had. You could see in the parade ring that he's so calm and takes everything really easy. Keith, who rides him out, said that he was happier with him today than at any stage of the season. Hopefully we'll get him in the same form for Cheltenham. My only concern for Cheltenham would be good ground. He does handle good ground but might need a bit further on it, though he'll take his chance. He's a horse that doesn't take much work at home and it's all systems go now.
