Third time lucky for Mount Everest

I'm delighted with that. We were surprised how green he was the last day in Cork but that can happen sometimes with ours even though he had a run. He was just very at sea. He was still very babyish today. We think he is going to be a lovely colt in time but he's still growing up. He has a big massive engine, he was half-speeding really. He's after having three runs and we won't force him now as he knows plenty now. It depends on what happens after this. We'd be thinking of something like the Beresford if he goes again. I think he's just more babyish than wanting a trip. He's just going through the motions.

Sovereigns impresses on debut

You'd be delighted with him. He looks a very nice horse. He was working like a nice horse but usually ours all get beat first time. Obviously he's very nice and that's the bottom line. He's a big powerful horse as well.

Rapscallion off the mark back over six

He was tapped for a bit of toe in a maiden over five last time. The step up to six definitely helped him,. Denis said he travelled very well in the race. Last time sharpened him up mentally, he was a bit of a baby early on. He's a solid little horse and seems to have plenty of speed. We'll probably keep him at six and hopefully he might get a furlong further in the future. He's probably a big baby and only starting to improve now and the penny is dropping. We'll keep him pretty busy as he seems to be a tough hardy fella.

Balance gets back on track in the Curragh Stakes

He has a lot of ability but he's a little bit wayward,. Colm said that he's absolutely gun barrel straight and then you ask him and he starts to hang a bit. He didn't even hit him. He said there was no point as he was going to pick up fine. He'll probably go back up to six now. He's got various entries and we'll see what happens. He only needs one more run this year. It was nice to come back to this because last time was a bit disappointing. If he hadn't hung he probably would have went very close that day. He has loads of ability anyway, if you can just channel it in the right direction.
