“We just stand Dink at the moment, who is Nube Negra’s sire. “I’m fortunate that Mr and Mrs Kelvin Hughes and Ian and Suzanne Lawrence have come on board with me as the idea is if he continues to show this promise we will keep him entire and stand him at our stud and see if we can make a stallion of him. Grace Skelton, wife of the winning trainer, said: “The way he has performed today clearly shows he is very promising. The Dan Skelton-trained son of Saint Des Saints was trimmed into 14/1 by Sky Bet for the Grade One prize at the Festival following his six length victory in the two mile event, which stablemate Allmankind landed in 2019. However, connections already have one on eye on his career off the track. In This World (11/10) saw his odds for the JCB Triumph Hurdle tumble following his impressive success in the Jewson Leamington Rugby Road Juvenile Hurdle. “He mixed it in some good race last season and he wasn’t found wanting too much in those.” He added: “I suppose in an ideal world we will look for something similar next time and if he is good enough then start to get a bit more excited around Christmas. He has just got to keep proving it on track now.”Īs for immediate plans Scudamore intends to take small steps with Do Your Job before stepping him back up in class. In terms of natural ability he is probably the best horse we have had from that angle. They are very similar builds but mentally they are different as Next Sensation was wild and he is very relaxed and sensible. “The most obvious one to compare him to is Next Sensation who was a Grand Annual winner. He hadn’t had the cleanest run coming into today and I think he will come on a lot for today. I thought he jumped well enough and his jumping got better as he warmed up through the race. Herefordshire handler Scudamore added: “It is hard to know quite what to make of it but I’m really pleased with him. “Michael said ‘this could be the best horse I’ve ever trained’, but I think this horse is proving Michael right and we don’t know where we can go.” I wouldn’t swap this horse for the world and I’ve already turned a lot of big money down for him. The bond was there straight away when he stuck his head over the stable door. “I fell in love with this horse the day I got him at the sales. “I’ve owned about 30-odd racehorses and this was the most nervous I’ve been as I’ve loved this horse from day one. To take on a 150 rated horse first time out wasn’t the plan but thank God he jumped beautifully. We didn’t shy away from any of those good horses like My Drogo and Metier last season. Following the race Do Your Job was introduced by Sky Bet at 50/1 for the Sporting Life Arkle at this season’s Cheltenham Festival.ĭunphy said: “I just wanted to see him enjoy it and come back safe and sound and then we can plot things ahead.
