It's nice to be able to come and win first time out over fences. He had a bit of class over hurdles. He was running in some good handicaps and he was never beaten too far. He did that terribly well and Barry said he's a super jumper. He could have been foolish at a few, but he put himself right and he's clever enough. We weren't able to school him that much because of the hard ground. He'll stay novice chasing. He might have to meet some of the better one, but it's a bit early in the year yet and he might get another one in before they arrive. Two and a half is as far as he would like to go.
