he galloped to the line and his jumping was very good today. We did a lot of work on his jumping. Adam reckoned he was in front too soon, with the horse falling (Discordantly, after halfway). He liked him, he said they went a good gallop, increased it the whole way and he thought it was a nice race to ride in. He won his maiden hurdle in Listowel but in handicap company he was struggling a bit. He's a big lump of a horse and obviously this is the next step over fences. He jumped well over these fences and they take a bit of jumping. We'll look for something at Easter time maybe at Fairyhouse. The man that owns him won't be in any hurry with him.
