Cheltenham Tips

The tactics and ride won it for him. Ruby gave him a very sharp ride. I don't know where he'll go at Cheltenham, the Champion or the World Hurdle. Today's race wasn't a trial for either race as they went no gallop but his connections would like to run at Cheltenham. That's his ground.
