Punchestown Result

His jumping kept him right in the race. He seems to be an excellent jumper. He idled a bit in front today. From what he shows at home, there's a lot more to come but he has to prove that in public now. He will probably go to Leopardstown at Christmas next. He's improved from Wexford but to be at the top level he'll have to improve again but I think he might. His pedigree suggests he's a two miler but they all say he's a stayer.
