Dan Skelton (16 October 2025): "He has had a good summer and looks fantastic, and I have made no secret of the fact that we want to go down the Champion Hurdle route. I don’t think the step back in trip to two miles will be an issue and we are going to let the races pan out for him. We want to start off in the Fighting Fifth so let’s hope for plenty of cut in the ground up at Newcastle. We will see what we do and where we go after."
Dan Skelton (21 February 2025): "He looks outstanding, and this horse’s coat makes him look one of the most forward of our horses. I took him to Huntingdon the other day - it wasn’t a gallop and more a canter round and a day out but what I like about him is that energy and he is so bright. He walked around the paddock with exuberance and happiness and is never a horse that pulls in the race or pulls in work, so he is never going to boil over. I just love to see him looking and feeling so well and he is going to be going for the Turners, unless the ground is very soft or heavy. If that was the case, he could go for the Supreme on the first day, but the reality is that he is going on the Wednesday and I love everything about him - his attitude, his trainability, and if you ask Harry he loves the way he has to ride him. If you want to go inside you can, if you want to go outside you can and if he you want to go quicker or want to go slower, he can do that as well - he can do it all. He is training well, and those good horses are all relaxed and happy. He has just got it, and we love him. Hopefully, we can have a nice smooth run and what will be will be."
Dan Skelton (10 October 2024): "He quickened up very well at Market Rasen and we might start over hurdles with him at the Charlie Hall meeting, but he will step up in trip at some point. I think he could be very good."
