David Wachman was delighted with the effort of Irish Derby runner-up Galileo Rock

Wachman said: "He ran well. The winner won well but we made of a race of it and I'm very happy with that.

"He's definitely stepped forward (from Epsom). These three-year-olds need to step forward through the year and he'll need to step forward again from here.

"Jim's horse travelled particularly well, we stayed on but I think the winner won with bit up his sleeve."

Asked whether Galileo Rock could be targeted at the St Leger, Wachman said: "He'll be in it, we'll see nearer the time. Good ground is essential and I think he'll really come into his own as a four-year-old."
