any horse to win four on the bounce is good going. He started off in Kilbeggan and has won over three and back to two and a half; he’s a good tough horse. I couldn’t win with him over hurdles but he seems to have really improved for the fences. We did a couple of the early entries for Leopardstown and we put him in the Paddy Power Handicap Chase and the three-mile novice chase and I’d say we’ll aim for something there at Christmas.
