Not disgraced behind Rashaan and two subsequent Grade One winners in Apple's Jade and Petit Mouchoir at Down Royal, he then pushed County Hurdle winner Superb Story close at Musselburgh Nash feels his eight-year-old does not have a running style conducive to big fields, so skipped the Leopardstown feature on Sunday. "He always drops in and he couldn't have 20 in front of him. It's one thing to have six in front of you, but another to have 20," said Nash. "The more I thought about it, and I spoke to Paul Townend as well, I thought it wasn't right for him. "There is one in him but he has to take his time, otherwise he just runs away. There would be too many in front of him in that race if he dropped in. "We'll wait for something else for him. There is a race on Irish Gold Cup day that could be a possible. "We'll look for something with a nice pot, even if we have to go back across the water. "He's only rated 58 on the Flat as well and I'm sure he could pick up one of those along the way."
