The two of them did a little piece of work the other morning, Colin (Keane) rode the other fella and Oisin rode this fella. He worked so well I said I couldn't not run him,. I didn't ever want to run one against the other but I knew the other fella was going to need it and I was always afraid that the ground was going to be too quick for him and that I might have to take him out. This fella goes on any ground, maybe not heavy but he goes on most ground. He's just getting better and Oisin thinks he'll be better over a bit further. He thinks a mile-and-a-half will suit him better because he says he actually struggles early, maybe he's lazy though. Maybe a fast run mile-and-a-quarter suits him best. He's been in fantastic form all spring. In his work the other morning he went six furlongs and he couldn't get a hold of him at all. To have the two of them heading the same direction you don't like to be bumping heads. Chris (Hayes on Helvic Dream) said the ground was as quick as the other fella wanted it. He wants soft ground and he'll come back here for the Mooresbridge Stakes. The winner is in it as well and you'd have to think about that race for him as well. If he keeps climbing the way he's climbing you wouldn't know where he would end up. That was impressive. Noel Meade, trainer
