Cheers Oddy. He was highly touted early on and went off pretty short for the Deloitte, ran a shocker there and didn't even get sent to Cheltenham on the back of it. The one thing that stuck in my head was Ricci saying at a preview was that this was the fastest novice he had but couldn't jump for toffee which was pretty accurate! I'm sure there'll be some target up in grade in the autumn for him on the flat before continuing his progression of clouding hurdles round the winter Enjoy the hols, second summer in a row I'll not be having any
Made for 8f I'd think. By a good miler (and wonderful sire) out of a Dansili half-sister to a dual Guineas winner (Special Duty) you'd have to think 8-9f is the right distance. Where to next? The Solario and then the Dewhurst would seem a good plan. It will take a special horse to lower his colours.
