Connections of Caldwell Potter have plenty to get excited about following his thoroughly impressive Leopardstown success over the Christmas period.Gordon Elliott's charge was sent off at odds of 6-1 for a competitive running of the Grade One Paddy Power Future Champions Novice Hurdle, but proved a decisive winner when pulling clear on the run to two out and galloping on to a cosy six-and-a-half-length success in the hands of Jack Kennedy.It was a performance that justified his big-race jockey’s confidence and Joey Logan, racing manager to Andy and Gemma Brown’s Caldwell Construction Ltd string, believes connections are only getting a glimpse of what the talented six-year-old could be capable of.He said: "He was very impressive and to be honest Jack was very confident going out, he had said it was one of the horses he was most looking forward to riding all week at Leopardstown."His form is good and he’s improving all the time and he is a lot stronger than he was last year.

Hopefully that will continue going forward and he has a lovely way about him throughout his race."Having joined his ill-fated brother, Mighty Potter, on the race’s roll of honour, Caldwell Potter could have paved the way for a return to the Foxrock venue for the Dublin Racing Festival next month where the Tattersalls Ireland Novice Hurdle could be the ideal place to complete his Cheltenham Festival preparations.Logan added: "More than likely we will (go back to Leopardstown), but I have to speak to Andy, Gemma and Gordon.

You couldn’t seen much reason why not to and it would be the logical step towards Cheltenham."He could be a Supreme horse or a Ballymore horse and with the way he did it, he was only going through the motions.
