I've met Willie John a few times. He was born within a mile of where I was born, and I know he's an absolutely amazing man, although I don't remember seeing him playing rugby, unfortunately.
The small field should not make a difference to him and it was a small enough field when he won it last year. He's a class horse as you would expect for a Champion hurdle winner.
He got outpaced at a crucial time. He rather lacked the experience this time but he came home nicely.
It was a very good race and Clan Royal ran a blinder... hopefully next time will be my moment.
I've known he would win this race since Christmas. He just gets better every time I ride him.
