I'm sorry for Davy but Roger gave him an absolute cracker of a ride. Davy was a great help and told him what we needed,. I was a bit worried coming here as he's being running over a mile on the Flat and we've made plenty of use of him so I was worried he would be a bit gassy. We put the hood on him and he got a very good ride. Roger is a very good horseman and I was delighted when he came to me in the weigh room. Switching him off was the key. He's very honest and there aren't many that win four in a year. We'll mix it with him but he's just got a bit high on the Flat. Once the winter ground comes he'll be finished and I'll send him back home. P J Prendergast, trainer
