Stable Tour Quotes

Dan Skelton (21 February 2025): "He only has one entry and is definitely going for the County Hurdle. If you had asked me at Christmas time ‘would you have much chance in the County Hurdle’, I would have said no at a push. As the days are getting longer his coat is turning, and you can see how bright he is. It is all just coming together. He is in a handicap and it is going to be hard, but he was very good in the two-mile graded race at Cheltenham in October and bolted in then, before being put in his place by Potter’s Charm over two and a half, which was no disgrace. He then couldn’t carry top weight on bad ground afterwards. I just feel like it is coming together, he has ability, and if it is decent ground I can see him being there."
