Cheltenham Tips

He just keeps improving and I think there is more improvement again after today,. We were discussing where he goes next and the Dublin Racing festival looks like the plan now. Hopefully we don't get any setbacks, the horses have been coming out of Leopardstown well over the last few days, and we'll look forward to that and then maybe going over to Cheltenham in March. I think Paul was very happy where he was all the time. It's repaid all the faith shown. When you go back to Al Boum Photo running out in Punchestown Joe and Marie rang me up five minutes after the race and said 'whatever happened, happened' and it would make no difference so it's loyalty paying off.
