“If he jumped a little bit slicker at Leopardstown we might have considered the Champion Hurdle after that but on his performance that day, and his jumping part of it, we decided to stick to the novice route,” he told At The Races.

The Supreme Novices’ Hurdle is where we’re going and we have tunnel vision about it now. That’s his race.”
