Slieveardagh shouldn't really have been running against Donnas Palm (the Noel Meade trained runner-up) handicap-wise but I thought Donnas Palm had a very hard race at Navan and he is probably better at Navan than he is here. My horse is better on that ground but I don't know where I'll go from here. He has a preference for going left handed, which doesn't help with Punchestown and Fairyhouse and while he is in the Grand Annual at Cheltenham, I doubt he'll go there. Paddy Power Bookmakers subsequently cut Slieveardagh to 12/1 (from 16s) for the Grand Annual Chase and to 14/1 (from 20s) for the Pulteney Handicap Chase also at Cheltenham.
