A return trip to Ireland is on the cards for the BoyleSports Champion Chase next month.Hes come out of it well. Hes run a good race and were delighted with him, said George.Hes run a very solid race in what was probably a well-above standard renewal of the Champion Chase.He made a mistake at the second last which stopped him in hiss tracks. Federico Bernardeschi Jersey. . There was no bad lucky story.He did definitely jump out to the right there and we know hes going to have better options going right-handed, though he does run good races going left-handed.What will suit him will be going back right-handed when we get the opportunity.He likes this better ground so this is the time of year we have to make use of it.Punchestown is very much at the top of our list. Whether we go to Aintree in between or not, well wait and see. Im not sure yet.The advantage of Cheltenham is that hes only out of his stable for four hours, so hes taken it very well. Its not a big deal for us going to Cheltenham. It makes a big difference.
