I'm delighted with that performance, he's had his problems in the past but I think we've ironed them out now. We'll freshen him up and then it's on to Cheltenham, it's nice to be going over there on that back of that. He had treatment for ringbone on his off four and that seems to have done the trick. We probably shouldn't have sent him over the Tingle Creek I blame myself for that. His jumping was brilliant and we've done a lot of schooling with him at home. C A Murphy, trainer
