he (Frontal Assault) was way too keen with the blinkers in Leopardstown. He'll be a grand big staying chaser. He really stayed well there. He'll get an entry in the Martin Pipe (Conditional Jockeys Hurdle at Cheltenham) and we'll see what happens. The likes of Punchestown might not be ideal for him if the ground gets too quick.
