He's a quirky little horse. He jumps brilliantly and Davy says he loves the jumping. He likes this place. He's won three times here and he loves that fast ground too.

He was very light last year but he's stronger now and has improved since his summer break. The plan is to go for the Lartigue Hurdle at Listowel although two miles might be a bit sharp for him. I didn't think he was going to get into this race. He's always shown plenty, he jumps well and won a maiden hurdle here as well.

I thought out of the two of mine, Leroy Parker would handle the ground but I wasn't sure about Blue Cannon. Blue Cannon was slicker to jump though and will now be kept on the go during the winter but will have a break of a month or five weeks now.
