The whole plan was obviously to go back chasing with him and the plan now is to go to the Troytown. I didn't want to run him in today's earlier chase as if he won he'd have risked picking up a penalty, so I said we might as well have a run over hurdles where he is rated 15lb lower. He had a setback after his last run and when I got him back later in the season, it was too late to run. He has grown up, matured and grown a lot stronger as he had been a big shell of a horse. His owner Philip Polly is in Dubai so hopefully he is watching on TV.

We paid a lot of money for him after he finished second in a point-to-point but we didn't see the horse that we're now seeing. Since he came in this season he is a different horse and while I know fences have changed him, anything he is doing he is doing well. He is a huge big horse so maybe we did too much with him too quick. We were worried about coming back in trip but maybe that trip is right and riding him that way is right. He'll need a few weeks now but we'll give him an entry in a graded race and he will go on soft ground.
