Ben Pauling (23 February 2026): "Obviously we were all disappointed with Warwick as he was so progressive early season. I blame myself straightaway as I ran him too many times as a young horse but he has come out of it fine. A much wiser man than me told me that, basically, his jumping is his asset and in all his other races he was gaining five lengths at a fence but at Warwick he lost an average of six lengths at every fence. I thought he loved heavy ground but I think I was wrong on that too; he is French and jumps fences very accurate and was using the same technique in heavy ground and was meeting them halfway up. He’s now in the Arkle, Jack Richards, Johnny Henderson and the Plate - I don’t know where he is running yet but if he is in very good form he will go or he will wait for the two and half mile Grade 1 at Aintree. He has been out for a schooling session with Laura Collett since and he was just electric. I think this is a lovely horse for the future. If he tells us he is ready to go then we will have a look but there is no hurry and there is no definitive answer as yet."

Ben Pauling (07 October 2025): "He is a lovely individual who was a big backward baby last year. He was a bit above himself last year at home and was fairly hard to get fit, but he did it nicely at Kempton and was probably not himself at Aintree. We will go novice chasing with the four-year-old allowance and chasing is going to be his game looking at him. I can’t wait to see how he gets on."

Ben Pauling (10 October 2024): "He is a lovely three-year-old from France who has very good French form. If he is ready, he will run in some proper Juvenile hurdles. He is a nice horse with a bright future."
