We ran him over fences a week ago and Rachael Blackmore, who rode him, came in and said he was a coward and to go back over hurdles. We had him entered here at the time and that's why we ran him,. He is a little bit of a rogue and I don't think chasing is going to be a part of his life!. He is one of those horses who things have to fall for him but he likes it around here. He wants a bit of nice ground and we'll probably put him away until next year now. I said to the young lad to 'stay wide, on the bends and all, and if you're out any further you'll be in the trees'. They were the only instructions I gave him. John Joseph Hanlon, trainer
