Galway Races Tips
He did (rally well after the mistake at the last), he seemed to jump the hurdle perfectly but landed on his hind ones first, awkwardly. He jumped really well, it was the only hurdle that was any bit of a blip. We are very pleased with him. He's a good traveller. He was a classy horse in his bumpers - third in a Cheltenham bumper and that was only his second run. He's a horse with a bit of class. We might enter him for probably a Coral Cup or maybe even one of the novice races, we'll see how he is.
