Better Times
5lb lower when winning a handicap hurdle in March; enjoys good ground and ran well for a long way on recent chase debut at Kilbeggan (2m3f, yielding); this trip likely suits him better and has possibilities in the new headgear.

From the connections
“Going up in trip and that better ground is what Better Times wanted. I'd say he would probably go on better ground again. That trip gives us options now and he has just taken a while to learn to settle before his races. He is A1 once he is going, but used to run his race before he ran. He is doing everything well now. We'll get him home, see how he is and we'll make a plan from there - Sonny Carey, trainer”
