He’s got a bit of pace and we rode him for it. I’d say the hurdle flicked back at him going down the back (straight), but he’s professional enough and I’m happy with him. He’ll probably come back here in February. I’d say a bit better ground would suit him as he doesn’t bend his knee too much and just flicks across the top of the ground. When he got to the front he didn’t do a stroke again. He did exactly the same with Lisa O’Neill when he won a bumper in Galway. He’s a nice horse.
