"Watch House Cross was beaten in his first three chases earlier this season, but he was much better back over hurdles in the Brown Lad Handicap Hurdle at Naas in November. It was too early in the race to know how he would have done, but he was travelling well at the time. I schooled her over the track again on Monday morning, and she went great. I think that he could be a little bit under-estimated." He was running a nice race in the Grade 1 Neville Hotels Chase at Leopardstown over Christmas when we parted company quite early.
