Leonna Mayor makes the trip to Southwell for live national hunt action this afternoon, plus international racing from Happy Valley and Marseille Vivaux.
"He seemed to gallop away through the line. He looks a real good horse. Hopefully we can build on that now over an extra two furlongs in the Cheltenham Gold Cup.
"I was amazed that the press were doubting the fact that he had never won over three miles over fences. He had won over three miles as a novice over hurdles which is way harder than doing it over fences. To me, he can go four miles.
"What I love about him now is that he's settling, he's not keen and Paul is able to put him wherever he wants him in a race. That's crucial for tactics going forward.
"He used to be a little keen over shorter trips, but now he just settles and he's able to put him asleep. I think it's just maturity, he's matured in his mind and he's settling into being a proper racehorse."
