He was very impressive. He did it very well, his jumping was fantastic. He has a tremendous cruising speed and we wouldn't be afraid to go back to two miles . that's maybe his job. He was very fast over the first four fences. There was a few front runners in it and they were all trying to make it. He has the jumping ability along with the pace. Until we see that he's not able to do it over two miles we'll go that way first. He had a year off. He just had a little problem. With horses like him you just have to give them a bit of time. We'll keep him running as much as we can and get all the experience we can with him. We'll look at Christmas now. W P Mullins, trainer
