He won nicely in Haydock and we just haven’t had any rain in England since then so we have been waiting and waiting. This is the first opportunity that he’s had on a little bit of softer ground. He had a lot to do because he went up 11lb after Haydock but he’s clearly still improving and that was nice. He got a little niggling problem when he was younger and we have to look after him and he just needs a bit of soft ground as a result. That’s a nice prize to land. There are a few nice races in Ascot later in the year and the ultimate aim would be something like the Balmoral Handicap on Champions Day at Ascot. It’s worth a hell of a lot of money and you would have thought that you might get soft ground at that time of the year. He’s won a valuable pot at Haydock and an even more valuable one today so he doesn’t owe us anything. He’s an out-an-out seven-furlong horse. J J Quinn, trainer
