He does like it up here, he's fairly good up here. The last day there was nothing to gallop at really. Robbie (Colgan), to be fair, got him into a good rhythm. There was no front-runner really the last day, so Robbie did that with him. Today, there was loads of pace in there and he just followed it in. No, I don't think so (wouldn't want to lose him), but the bills have to be paid too. We have to think of that as well. There's another meeting here in two weeks, but I also have the grass with him. I was probably running him on the wrong ground last year - when I got to the races, it turned up soft. He probably wants good ground. He has a good mark off the grass as well, so if he could do that on the grass it would be great.

that's definitely his go - seven furlongs and he enjoys himself at that. He doesn't do a whole pile when he hits the front but has a willing attitude. I suppose the race broke up as there was only seven horses and it would have been nicer if I had something to take me a little bit further but it is the way the race has panned out. Laura does excellently with her few horses and it is great to be riding them.

He did it well. There aren't too many races for him so I had to come here for this. I have him in for €8,000 and if he goes I'll be sorry as there is a bit more in him. The last day up here I think they went too quick over the mile for him. The time before he was in the box seat the whole way and he was happy. Oisin was very good on him, he did exactly what I asked him, and I'm delighted. He's paying his way and he enjoys the surface, we'll see what happens now after today.

he’s travelled very well and is rejuvenated since I started coming up here. He’s come with his problems and has taken a lot of sweetening up but he’s turned inside out now. I was cautious about getting one from Clive Cox and thinking can you improve them, but it’s great. Mark was very good on him again and said he was just doing enough in front. Hopefully he’s okay in the morning and I think there is another race in a few weeks.
