Royal Ascot Tips

I was delighted with that, it was a nice start to the season,. The race worked out perfectly for him and Paul asked him a nice question down over the last two hurdles. Sharjah had been working well at home and he put him to bed when Paul asked him. We wanted to get a good run into him. If he's going to go down the Champion Hurdle route he needs to be asked those questions. He was nicely keen in behind Saldier, he got a good lead and did everything that was asked. Thankfully all the hurdles were left in and he got a bit of practice because he needed it. He's probably not Champion Hurdle class jumping-wise yet but that will come in a bigger field with more competition. I think there is plenty of improvement left in him. Looking at that I don't think Henry, Michael Buckley or Nicky Henderson will be too worried but we're going to improve too and I think he is the horse that has improvement in him.
