He clearly is no two-miler and this step back up in trip to closer to what he won over in April at Fairyhouse should suit perfectly. The horse is a habitual front runner and blazed a trail over 2 miles before unsurprisingly being reeled in by speedier types. He will be ridden by son of the trainer Charlie O'Dwyer, who takes off 3lbs, and his run last time out at Cork screamed of being merely a prep for a bigger prize. Another trend that nearly everyone will have noticed is how well the Irish raiders tend to do coming over and it is with Conor O'Dwyer's charge SKADRIN that I want to be with. With that in mind this race seems very much like an afterthought or a prep run, and so with his price contracting all the time as I type I thought it best to give him a swerve.Īt Cheltenham in recent years it seems as though being prominent or leading has been a real positive, albeit this trend is more obvious over fences than hurdles. Off To A Flyer interested me a lot here to get the meeting, well, off to a flyer, but despite his claims and the form the Joe Tizzard stable are in, I was a bit put off to see his handler would be aiming him either over fences or at the Pertemps in his stable tour.
