64/1 Four-Timer for Noel Meade at Navan
We decided today to bounce him out quick and to let him roll along and use his jumping. I don't know what happened him the last day (made a bad mistake in the Star 'Best For Racing Coverage' Chase that went to War Of Attrition) as he never makes a mistake. He is getting on but he is still very useful and he is better when he doesn't run too often. Two to two and a half miles is okay for him but I don't know where he'll go next. He won't go Cheltenham for the Paddy Power as it'll come too soon.
Academy Sir Harry Lands Gamble
He'll need further in time but he is tough and his heart is in the right place. He wants the ground a bit better. I'm delighted for Joe Comerford who owns him, he leaves it all up to me and I just ring him to tell him when the horses are running.
Catch Me Back To His Best
His jumping was better, he jumped twenty seven fences at home and the schooling over fences has helped him. I had it in the back of my mind to send him at that game if he disappointed here. There is more to come now hopefully and this helped to establish that he's back to his best. The Hatton's Grace Hurdle at Fairyhouse will be next and if he goes to Cheltenham it'll probably be for the Champion Hurdle though the two and a half miler at Liverpool would probably be more his cup of tea.
