She's smashing and won at Cheltenham last December before stepping up – very professionally – in the Coral Cup. The plan is to go chasing but we haven't schooled her over fences as she came in a little later. We'll see how we go, but either way she's quality.

I hope he can give his patient owners some fun and he's had some good schooling with Henrietta Knight, so should progress over hurdles.

He was a good novice hurdler and was fourth in the Albert Bartlett in 2019, but niggly issues kept him off last season. I'm dying to see him over fences and he desperately wants soft ground.
