Physically he's always been fine, he's a big horse and has shown plenty of speed. He's just getting it together now, as you can see he sweats up a bit. Shane said he was a bit unlucky the last day but he got it all together today and battled on well which was very pleasing. He's got plenty of ability, hopefully he'll go forward from this and we might look at the Birdcatcher if he could get into it down the bottom.

We've had a quiet run for Sheikh Fahad this year so it's great to get a winner on the board. J P Murtagh, trainer
