After race at Naas Sun, 21st May, 2023 (1st)  I'm delighted with him. Obviously, he made good progress from Navan and he just needed that as well,. Navan was tough, soft ground, there wouldn't have been much of an edge put on him but that will leave a lovely edge on him. Ryan was delighted with him, he said he got a little bit lonely and idle in the last half a furlong, but we couldn't be happier with him. He had progressed plenty without us really having to chase him. We thought this race would bring him the rest of the way and if everything stays well we should be able to let him coast into Ascot now. We have a choice at Ascot. Little Big Bear is going to run next week, over six at Haydock, and he would have the option of going to the Jersey over seven if Little Big Bear went to the Commonwealth Cup. This horse is going to come forward again, he's still a little bit tubby but he's coming. It will depend on where Little Big Bear goes. It always looked like he'd get seven. Ryan said today he was surprised that he quickened as much as he did. A P O'Brien

After race at Naas Sun, 21st May, 2023 (1st)  I was very happy and very happy that we ran him. He hadn't been asked to do anything off the bridle at home, then he went to Navan and won very easily in soft ground so he probably doesn't know a lot. It was good strong pace today on good ground and before Ascot it's very important that they do that. Ryan had to catch a hold of him and make him get down and stretch, he would have learned an awful lot and he was very happy with him. We were delighted. I thought that he mightn't even come off the bridle as he shows loads at home. Ger's horse (Tourist) is obviously a good horse, he took him off the bridle. Ger's was second to one of ours here the last day and we liked him as well. He's a horse to look forward to. We thought he would be a Coventry horse. We have three Wootton Bassetts, it's the first time we've had them, and two of the colts are very good. It's unusual that two colts were good out of the three. He's always shown loads but very much always on the bridle doing his work but before you go to Ascot you have to take them off it and teach them. Hopefully that's the job done for him now. A P O'Brien
