More like his old self!

Itoldyou ran a really pleasing race at Fontwell today, finishing second in the 2 mile 6 furlong (0-110) handicap chase on heavy ground.  The race was a little shorter than he would like and Tom Cannon was instructed to be up near the pace or even make it if necessary, and this he did.  Itoldyou jumped and ran with enthusiasm and was in second place, though being urged along, turning into the final line of fences beginning with the open ditch.  Here he made his one mistake, though not looking like falling, and he began to lose his momentum and dropped back into 4th place.  He jumped the last still just in 4th place but looking like he would take third.  However he kept on so well on the run in that he passed the tiring 3rd and second placed horses gaining the runners up position for himself.

Itoldyou before the race.

A happy Itoldyou after the race.
