Longer trip looks sure to suit Next Destination

It’s Gold Cup day in Punchestown and while I don’t know if we’ll have the race we had last year, with Sizing John, Djakadam and Coneygree providing a brilliant spectacle, it’s still a great race.

Bellshill, one of four runners in the race for Willie, travelled, jumped and looked a winner in the Irish Grand National for so far, but ultimately threw it away going to the last.

He finished fourth and was placed fifth, but he’s in great form at home and if I was riding I would probably be riding him.
