That was lovely because he's such an immature horse in his head. Even though he won an Open the first day it was a nothing race and the last half lap he was just on his own cantering, so it was no preparation for that up against a hardened horse. He did it well and Barry said he was always travelling easy but it's when he has to give him a shove he still doesn't know to do it straight away yet. When he hits the front, it's still like 'what am I doing here?'. That will all come, he's only six but has the right engine and jumps really well. He could be the proper horse for me to go to Cheltenham with for the Foxhunters. He could go to Down Royal but I'm not going to run him on really deep winter ground. D M Christie, trainer
