"It's not everyday you see this"

We have decided to retire Lord Erskine. We had him ready to go to Listowel next week and a little bit of heat came back in his tendon where we got a knock, so we decided we would stop. As a 13-year-old with 79 runs, including two for Willie McCreery, and 14 wins across the Flat and over hurdles, he was a great servant. He is going to remain in the yard for his retirement.
It was Willie McCreery who said to me that he was going to the sales (in 2016) and he thought he was well worth buying. He thought he just wanted time and actually thought he had an engine. He thought he was decent and he was proved right. That's how I ended up getting the horse.

- HOPE RISING has done well on the Flat this summer and is versatile trip-wise having won over 1m4f twice, 1m5f at Lingfield last time and 2m at Nottingham. This is arguably her toughest task to date, but she should give it another good go off the front and can continue in a rich vein of form. Solar Pass was a beaten favourite at Chester but cannot be overlooked on the strength of her previous form, while Personal Best is another to take seriously.
