We're thrilled. Rachael said he must have some engine given how keen he was. They went no gallop and his jumping is very novicey for his first run and she said she had to help him a lot, but he only really missed one. She said he can only improve, she thought after a couple of hurdles he was just too keen. All that will come to him, he's just a big raw baby. The plan in the back of my head, if he won today, was to go to either Fairyhouse or Cheltenham for the November meeting. I'll see what Belinda, the owner, wants to do but he won't run before then. I won this last year with Bell Ex One and he was meant to go to Cheltenham, but got ring-worm. This lad might go there. R P Cody, trainer
