I thought the ground was going to be worse than that as I don’t think it’s heavy. It wasn’t a help when the two lads ran off the bend as the last thing this lad wants is to make his own running. We’ll try and sneak into a good handicap over a trip — a mile and six (furlongs) or two miles. At the moment he’s too low for the Cesarewitch.

More than likely he will go hurdling. Thomas Mullins, trainer
