he seemed to jump a little bit right and go right, I'm not sure about that but it's great he won and Rachael was brilliant on him. After a couple or three runs he seems to lose his form so that's why we purposely put him away for now. At the back end of each season he can be a bit disappointing but when he's on song he really does battle. He's in the Ryanair and he's in the Gold Cup so we'll see. We'll see how he is, as I say he doesn't take too many runs so we felt we had to come here and it's great to win this. We'll enjoy today and then see what we want to do. He won the Ten Up on goodish ground last year so I don't think that ground is a necessity. I still don't know why his form tails off a bit, I think there are only three or four runs in him.
