After race at Curragh Sun, 21st Aug, 2016 (1st)

I'm delighted with him. He's lovely and lazy and just quickens. Seamus was very happy with him. He's very lazy and doesn't do an awful lot in front. It was the same at Ascot and Leopardstown. He's a big sleepy fellow. He'll come back here for the National Stakes and there's no doubt he'll be better on better ground. Hopefully he'll get further than a mile but he's not slow this horse. I'd definitely say he's a Guineas type of horse. Maybe he will get a mile-and-a-half but he doesn't go like a mile-and-a-half horse in his work. He has plenty of boot and is a big powerful horse.

After race at Leopardstown Thu, 21st Jul, 2016 (1st)

When he gets there he's very babyish and green. We saw that at Ascot. He's a little immature still. He got there very easily but the other horse challenged wide and Ryan said he didn't see him until late. I was delighted with the way he travelled through the race. We always thought he was very good. He had a nice run when third at the Curragh and we obviously saw what he did in Ascot. We were a little worried in Ascot as they went slow and he got there early and was green. He got to the front today and waited again. I think the Futurity is where we will go now.
