Cheltenham Tips

You'd be delighted with that. We always thought he was a horse that was going to get a mile well, and he did in Killarney, and when you see him doing that he's obviously a smart colt,. I didn't see Ryan as he was gone when I got down but he said to the lads that he felt like a very nice horse. We were happy to make it if we had to. It was decisive enough in the end. We thought that he would stay very well but looking at him there he doesn't have to go back to a mile. We were very happy and I'd say he'll probably go for something like the Futurity and then the National Stakes. I'm sure there will be plenty of them have to go to a mile but looking at him there today you wouldn't say he'd have to. He got it very well in Killarney.
