Cheltenham Tips

It is great to have no excuses. We decided to bounce out with him and if they went with us they went with us, and if they didn't they didn't. The ground was beautiful, but it was a little bit better than we would have wanted it. I was worried that he was going to be one of those horses that was talked up but never delivered, but now he has a Grade 1 win to his name and I'm delighted. We will see how he is in the morning as he is a horse that hits the ground hard. He has a great cruising gear, and while I would prefer to try and settle him, there is no point if it's not working. Champagne Fever made a bad mistake at a crucial stage, and we just kicked on from there and won the race.
