You'd be delighted with that, it's tough going out there,. Donnacha was delighted with his horse and said he stays well. Seamus (Heffernan on Delano Roosevelt) was very happy with his horse and said he just got a little bit lonely when he got there. Ryan (Moore on The Pentagon) was very happy. He said of all our horses that he rode he wants real nice ground, but he'll come on a ton. It was great because you need to get the racing miles into them. Nelson handles soft ground looking at that. Obviously we had to have something to make the running and he's the fella that held up his hand and he said he wouldn't mind going on. He had gone forward in his races before and won around here before making the running. He'll come back for the Derrinstown and that's what they'll probably all do.

He's improved with every run, and the experience was a big help. He got a nice easy lead and quickened up well off the bend. You would be delighted with all three of them really. He's very well bred by Frankel out of Moonstone and is a horse to really look forward to. He stays well and looks a Racing Post Trophy type horse. Ryan's horse had only one run so he was always going to be green around there. In an ideal world we would like to have two runs coming here. He was very raw, and Ryan said he got a bit disorganised early and he had to take him back a bit.

You'd be delighted with that . He came forward lovely from his first to his second. He ran a nice race the last day but came forward again,. We could look at the Beresford or something like that with him. He gets a mile well and stays well. He was galloping out well to the line. You'd be delighted with the runner-up as well. He ran a lovely race and he's a lovely horse. He was just ready to come and you'd be delighted with the way he kept coming. They went an even pace and it was a very good run out of him because it wasn't a dawdle. It was a good run for a first timer.
