Cheltenham Fri, 15th Mar, 2024  Majborough He’s a bit angular (at the moment) like all the French horses, but when he comes in from a summer’s grass he’s some beast. Who knows how good he could be? Sometimes with Triumph Hurdle horses, their juvenile year can be their best year, but this fellow is so untypical of that. He’s a big, jumping horse and normally you’d be going novice chasing next season. It’s not easy going novice chasing with a horse that young, but we’ll see. She travelled well and I was able to hang on to her a bit, but Mark’s lad hit a flat spot and got going late on. My mare was good and tough and galloped all the way to the line. It was a solid run, but I suppose Majborough was the one to take out of the Leopardstown race. It was a long way up that hill and while it might have looked like I was hanging on to a bit, you are never home until you’re home in Cheltenham on the New course. You have to hold on to something, but Mark found a bit more.
