He won his point-to-point really well and his work at home had been really, really good. Gordon aims his nicer horses here and he's nice. There is (a big engine) and he's only four and he's going to improve. That's what you are looking for, you are looking for the next stars. Fingers crossed he can be another one for Noel and Valerie. I think he is a nice horse. Jamie, who doesn't say too much, was full of praise. He's definitely one for the future. We thought he was showing us the right signs in his work during the week. We have a lot of nice horses coming through and we are looking for the next champion. He might not just have the speed Sir Gerhard (last year's winner) had but he's a proper horse and I'd imagine we would go to Navan next for a graded bumper. Gordon Elliott, trainer
