After race at Navan Sat, 9th Dec, 2017 (1st)

I was just hoping that something would win, and it's grand to win a nice prize like that up here on a Saturday. The winner certainly enjoys that ground and the trip is no problem to him. We think he'll improve again. If the winner hadn't been in it the second horse would have won with his head in his chest. Acapella Bourgeois looks to be a lot more settled now, and I'd imagine we'll probably have to go back up in trip. He boiled over on his last two runs last year but he looks to be a lot more settled this year. I'd imagine we'll probably try a different trip but he's handicapped against Irish horses and he would have won easily but for Polidam being in the race. We might just have had a nice handicap mark with him. He was unexposed but he has Grade 1 form in France and by the end of the season we might be thinking that wasn't a bad performance.
