We're very lucky they didn't race at Naas last week. This horse had a rest and was supposed to start back on January 1st which became the 17th because of the weather,. Last week would have been too soon for him. We got a gallop into him last Saturday instead and that helped for today. Hopefully he comes on for it. If the owners wishes to go he'll travel (to Cheltenham). I think he's a horse that has improved quite a bit and hopefully he improves a bit more.
