Having had the fall in the Gold Cup it was a worry but he jumped great today. He was very unlucky in the Gold Cup as he made a mistake and paid for it heavily. We done a lot of work on his jumping at home. We'll know at the end of the week how much this race has taken out of him and we'll decide on a Hennessy bid then. We've left plenty to work on and don't forget he beat two decent horses there today. If he doesn't go for the Hennessy he'll go straight for the King George. Ruby was chuffed to bits with him and hopefully we'll be back here next year.
