'Back to the drawing board' for Ivanovich Joseph O'Brien was at a loss to explain the meek performance of Ivanovich Gorbatov at Leopardstown on Sunday. Last season's Triumph Hurdle winner has largely struggled this campaign and was especially disappointing in the Irish Champion Hurdle. Ivanovich Gorbatov was simply never a factor and ended up finishing a never-nearer third behind Petit Mouchoir. O'Brien said: "He never really travelled through the race. "Maybe he wants to go up in trip - I don't know. "It's back to the drawing board."
