The two runs would have brought him on a ton. He ran a blinder on his first two runs and that will do his confidence the world of good. He wouldn't be the most confident creature in the world. Last year I cut him and did his wind at the start of last year and he just never thrived all year. He was a head and a tail all last year. This winter he has thrived and hopefully now he can step up again. There is a decent handicap in him along the way, hopefully a Stewards Cup or an Ayr Gold Cup. That's the long-term plan. Goodwood turned up fierce soft last year and Ayr last year wasn't even run but most years there is plenty of cut in the ground. He probably doesn't want it as deep as that but he wants a good bit of ease. It's good to get him off the mark. Adrian Paul Keatley, trainer

The Stewards interviewed Adrian Paul Keatley, trainer of G Force, regarding the late arrival of the horse into the Parade Ring. Evidence was heard from the trainer who stated that his charge was fractious but the delay was caused by part of the blinkers requiring an alteration before being properly fitted. He apologised for any delay caused. Having considered the evidence, the Stewards cautioned Adrian Paul Keatley concerning his responsibility to ensure that he complies with Rule 32(ii) by having his runners in the parade ring in a reasonable time before the signal to mount was given.
