After race at Cheltenham Tue, 12th Mar, 2019 (1st)

This rain has just come in time. I was moaning at 10am that we’d had none of what was forecast, but now it has come and it has worked the oracle, it made a huge difference to him. He won as easily as any of mine ever. Once the two horses fell going away from the stands, I was wondering why Paul moved out wide, but he must have seen something. The next thing there was a bit of a schmozzle and then he ended up in third place when I thought he was going to be out the back, and he just kept him together from there. Everything went right for him. It feels very good to win the first two races considering where I was with them two or three weeks ago, we were trying to get runs into them, but we just couldn’t. It looks like we’ve got two nice horses here, but we’ve nice ones at home that never got out. It’s fantastic to have two up at this stage, but there’s a lot more to happen over the next four days. We had a good weekend last weekend in Ireland which gave us a little bit of confidence coming here. It seems good so far, but there’s a long way to go yet, what with the weather and everything else.

His run the last day put him in the position that he could do that,. That should leave him right for next month. I think that type of distance would be far enough for him.
