It was a bit of a risk bringing him back so quick after Down Royal,. He's a tough horse. He won it from the front and stuck to his task well. He had a lot of weight with 10st-5lb and I've never seen Chris come out with so heavy a saddle. It was like he was going to ride in a bumper!. He gave him a positive ride and he toughed it out. I'm very happy. He's in again later in the week but that might be a bit greedy. He's looks progressive and when he hits the front he just does enough.

His form has been working out pretty solid and he's versatile in terms of ground and trip. I thought the seven furlongs here might be a bit quick but Chris gave him a good positive ride. He's entered at Galway on Monday and the plan is to run there under a penalty.

I saw the head-on and I thought it was six of one and half a dozen of the other. He's still a bit raw and green and he played up a bit at the start. Chris gave him a good positive ride. He's fairly ground versatile and I think he stays a mile. It's been well documented that we were refurbishing our gallops earlier in the year and we've been playing catch up ever since. It felt a bit like being at the bottom of a ruck getting a good chewing.
