Paradis looks a National prospect for the future

People might not think it because I haven’t had a runner, but I would really love to have a horse good enough to take part in the Aintree Grand National. It is a race we all dream of winning but I just haven’t had one yet.

But Paradis De Thaix might be the horse to take us there. He will definitely be returning to tackle the National fences in some race next year as he really took to them yesterday. In fact he seemed to love them, jumping brilliantly when finishing fifth in the Topham.

He just flattened out a little bit after the last. The rain had definitely gotten into the ground, so it might have been that it was a little softer than he would like. It might also have been that he wants further. I’m not sure really. But I was very happy with him.
