He was very good beforehand and I was very happy coming here and I thought he had improved a lot from last year,. We have deliberately campaigned him fresh this year because we'll aim for some of the bigger targets in the spring. He'll get a Cheltenham entry, as will Vaucelet, although I've always thought he'd be a fair horse for Aintree. The rain is bound to come and Naas can get very heavy so it might be too close to Cheltenham. One week changes a lot in a horse's life but at this moment I'm very happy to give him a Cheltenham entry. D M Christie, trainer
