the first half of Luke's plan has gone to plan anyway!. I thought he was very impressive what he did, especially after his mistake at the third last. What he did in between the third last and the last was what impressed me. It's very hard for any horse to be impressive, visually, on that ground and in that weather. I'd imagine that might mean he goes to the Champion Hurdle now. It was debated what chance would he have in the Champion Chase and what chance might he have in the Champion Hurdle. It was decided then that we'd run today, see what happens and that would make up our mind. We keep coming back to saying that he has as much of a chance in the Champion Hurdle as he has in the Champion Chase. That's the reasoning behind where we are going.
