The weather has stopped him from running a couple of times. He's been ready to run for a while and we need to get him back on the track. I schooled him the other day and he seems really well in himself.

He is a bit quirky but he didn't do a lot wrong there. He is getting better with experience and he'll be all right over fences in due course.
