He was very good in the Ryanair when I thought he jumped particularly well. He's won the John Durkan at Punchestown for the last two years, so I don't see any reason why we should veer away from the tried and tested approach with him. That's where he will start back and, hopefully, he'll be back at Cheltenham in March to defend his Ryanair crown.

A strong stayer; you saw that in the Albert Bartlett. He was very brave there and he looks an exciting staying novice chaser in the making. He jumps well too and is one to look forward to.
