It was great, I'm delighted to get Twilight Jet's head back in front because he hadn't the most straightforward path to this as he had two surgeries over the winter. He had one for colic and had to have another surgery having slipped so it has been a long time coming back. Last year he blitzed them in the Lacken (Stakes), but went to Royal Ascot and was sick for quite a while. This year was about getting him back slowly, race to race. He'll go for something like the World Trophy (Group 3 at Newbury) or I might step him up to six (furlongs) but there are a few options for him in the UK. Leigh (Roche) couldn't pull him up today and a stiff five or stepping back up to six will suit. . Lokada had a lot of headgear on her to try to get her to relax - we have been tricking around with her and always thought she had the ability to get black-type. They went so hard in front that Colin (Keane) was able to get cover to help her relax and she came home well. Today was huge for her and she might be able to win one of these now.

It was impressive and a relief as well. He missed six weeks in the spring, we just swam him for six weeks, and if this was three weeks ago he wouldn't have been ready. He's just come right and that makes it all the more impressive to me, knowing how his prep went during the spring. He always looked like one that could improve with time, he's a fine big horse. He has a bit of class and has a lot of natural speed. He's going to improve for the run today, I've no doubt Leigh is going to tell me that he had a blow. He took plenty of pulling up and galloped down to the third fence down the back before he got him pulled up. I think he has strengthened up enough this year to get six furlongs. In the Middle Park last year he showed his class but just didn't see out the six furlongs. I think this year he looks strong enough to go to Royal Ascot for the Commonwealth Cup with a big chance. The Cornwallis was his ninth run last year and he went to the Breeders Cup after that. Michael and Julia Iavarone, whose colours he runs in, used to own Big Brown who won the Kentucky Derby and they bought into 50 percent of him to go to the Breeders Cup. I'm just delighted that he's come out this year as a three-year-old and he's furnished and he's gone and done it. We always thought he was probably a Group 1 horse. He's trained on now over the winter and proved that he justifies being classed as something that's maybe a Group 1 horse this year.
