Cheltenham Tips

The cheekpieces worked. He probably wants further and I put them on him to sharpen him up. He travelled well throughout the race but he got caught a bit flat footed, he stayed on well though. We will look for something similar now or he might go back hurdling as he jumps well. He didn't like Kilbeggan (made his hurdling debut there) as he is a big galloping horse and he needs a galloping track.
