Assembly may go straight to RSA
The Grade One-winning novice hurdler won his first two starts over fences, claiming the notable scalp of Don Cossack in the Florida Pearl Novice Chase at Punchestown.
He was not disgraced when second behind Galway Plate hero Carlingford Lough in the Topaz Novice Chase at Leopardstown’s Christmas Festival and Fahy feels his jumping technique can be improved upon between now and the big meeting in March.
Fahy said: “He’s fine and has been having a bit of time out. He’s just tipping away, having a relaxing time and enjoying himself.
“We couldn’t have been happier with his run at Christmas. Carlingford Lough is a good horse and a very experienced horse. For our horse to put it up to Carlingford Lough in those conditions, I was very pleased with him.
“I think he’ll go for the RSA Chase, assuming all goes well between now and then. Whether he has another run before that, I don’t know.”
