I'm delighted. He stayed on very well. I was a bit concerned that the lack of pace might not be in our favour but in the end he kept going very well,. Jonjo was very good. He said he got in a little bit of trouble once or twice but with all those runners you'll always get a little bit. It was probably the right thing to bring him to the outside in the end and he stayed on well. I presume he's finished for the season and he'll have a good summer off. He wouldn't be wanting fast ground anyway, that wouldn't be his job. He was entered at Sandown on Friday in a 100,000 pound race but we wouldn't have been running on fast ground and that's why he came here. He can go chasing at any stage, he jumps very well, and that will be his long term job but when that will be I'm not sure. Philip Hobbs, trainer
