Footpad continued his ascent over fences with an impressive victory in the Racing Post Novice Chase at Leopardstown. The five-year-old gelding gained a definitive lead four fences from home and simply did not look back. From the first day at home that I saw him jumping over fences I thought he was the best I’ve seen for a long while. “He was good on his debut at Navan but today he was just awesome. He gained lengths at his fences and he’s one to really look forward to.
