he ran a good race meeting loads of trouble in the Eyrefield Stakes last year and that race is working out well. He was more professional today, up in trip and I'd say this trip is his bare minimum. He keeps finding and is still learning on the job. He has plenty of entries and there is a 1m5f Listed race for three year old only at Navan and he'll have no problem getting that trip. We have him entered in Epsom and his owners are keen to go and that is in consideration. A cut in the ground doesn't inconvenience him and I think he'll get 1m6f later in the year so a race like the St Leger in Doncaster might be right up his street. P Twomey, trainer
