It isn't often things go as much to plan as that. Hopefully it's onwards and upwards and I couldn't have asked for more,. The owners decided we would be as well off runnning for €26,000 as schooling after racing. It was a very delicate balancing act as we wanted a bit of work and wanted to win the race but didn't want him to have a hard race. It worked out well. Hopefully he'll come on for the race. It's his first Graded Chase and if he improves from it he must have a shout (in the Ryanair). He has won on soft but I think he's better on better ground and I think he should come to hand in the spring.
