    I suspected this was on the way. He's never really got over his National runner-up exertions despite the occasional bit of promise that the ability was still there.

    I had him for the Foxhunters this time round but at least waited till nrnb kicked in.

    One hell of a horse; such a pity Victoria rode him in 2016, she shouldn't be left up on a bicycle let alone a horse !

    Happy retirement to him, so well deserved.
