He had a good draw last week and threw it away at the start, he jinked left and nearly got rid of Gary (Carroll),. When I saw 14 for today I said 'ah jaysus', but then I thought he got a good draw last week and didn't want it. He's slowly but surely maturing into a racehorse. If everything is right he'll go back to the north (Down Royal) next week over ten (furlongs). I think that's where you'll see him come into his own, when we take our time with him. Hopefully he'll work his way through the grades. He's been a project, I think he's been more mentally immature than anything, but he's slowly but surely getting there. G M Lyons, trainer
