Of course it is a bit tough for him because at this level we were not the hottest one but the trainer did a really good job preparing him fit for today. He can go a bit higher, he really tries his best. He's a very honest and straightforward horse. I'm very pleased to be here. It's lovely and a good track. To be fair it's a bit sticky and soft but no tricks and a beautiful racecourse to ride. It’s good to get that job done and hopefully we’ll head to Naas next for the Lacken (on May 20). There is nothing really for him over five so we’ll go to Naas next and see what happens. Gerald was over last weekend riding work for the owner of London Icon (Simon Kwok) who is good friends with him in Hong Kong. It’s good to get him as he has a wealth of knowledge and we are lucky to have him when we can. Hopefully if he can step up again then long term it might be the Commonwealth but he’ll have to go Group Three next and see where we go from there. He loves that ground and that will have to be in his favour as well. London Icon will go straight for the French Guineas, and hopefully we’ll get him there in one piece. It’s unknown whether he’s up to that competition or not but we won’t know unless we go. He’s in good shape and doing everything right since his run at Naas.
