That was grand, it's nice to get him back. He's been off a while with an injury and we've given him plenty of time. He did it well and think he'll come on from it, hopefully he'll improve a bit. That's his third claiming hurdle win and if we hang on to him, it would be great. Hopefully, he'll be okay tomorrow after this.

It was a very tough effort by him and a great ride by Carl,. He's three from four now with the cheekpieces on and they are definitely helping him. Getting his head in front in the first claimer really helped him and he's enjoying it a lot more now. He was passed up the run-in but battled back, it was a very brave effort. He'll stay going now as long as the ground doesn't get too heavy.

That's his grade and he's hardy enough. We weren't sure about the two and a-half miles but he stayed it there today. We gave him a bit of a chance early. Carl gave him a great ride and he's grand for that grade. He loves good ground and to make plenty of use of him, he's just a big galloper.
