All he wanted was a bit of nice ground. He ran very well here at the festival,. He's had a good bit of practice on heavy ground. I was just waiting on good ground as he couldn't quicken up on that. On that ground he jumps brilliant and travels well. Two miles is his trip. He'll mix it between the Flat, hurdles and chasing. He's a bit like Neverushacon in that he'll go in every code. They (the Flyers Syndicate) are very lucky owners. Mrs John Harrington, trainer
