Ger Lyons said afterwards: "They didn't go a great gallop and he wants every yard of it and will get further. He got caught a bit flat-footed but stuck to his task well.

"He can only get better, you can see that by the size of him. I always thought he could be a Stakes horse, although he needs to improve on that form if he's going to be at that level.

"He won't be anything until he's a four-year-old, and could be a horse for Australia in time. It's nice to get a double for Sheikh Fahad."
