What they say: 'I think he's bang up there with the best novices in England'
Nicky Henderson, trainer of Balco Coastal
He'll probably go to the Scilly Isles and then we'll see where we are with him, he could go to the Turners or the Brown Advisory if all goes well there. I was impressed with him at Kempton.
Mouse Morris, trainer of Gentlemansgame
He has plenty of options and will either go to Naas, Leopardstown or Navan and we'll make a plan after that. He had some good form over hurdles and we were very happy with his last run and we couldn't ask for much more on his first run over fences.
Olly Murphy, trainer of Thunder Rock
I think he's a lot better than his run in the Dipper, he didn't get into any sort of rhythm at all, and I wouldn't be afraid of taking on either of those again. He's going to run in the Scilly Isles and that'll determine where we go, I'm not sure if we go up in trip or stay at two and a half. I think he's bang up there with the best novice chasers in England at the moment.
