he made one or two novicey mistakes but all in all, you'd have to say he jumped well. He's a fine strapping chasing type and he'll make a fine chaser. He is a grand horse and has been very consistent and solid for us bar we brought him to Cheltenham last month which was a huge mistake as he got so wound up. He ran his race before he got to the start and even riding him around that morning he had his race run. We'll see what handicap mark he gets and he could go handicapping or for a winners' of one. He'll stay chasing now and hopefully he can progress further. E McNamara, trainer
