James knows the horse well enough, he rode him a bit of work last week. He went out to go and make it at Newmarket and only one horse got past him and that, needless to say, was Rebel’s Romance. He didn’t lose too much in defeat that day. He came here fresh, well, and I thought he looked great. James has gone out and just got on with the job, basically. He saw it well and it was great ride. James is a world class jockey and he knows what fractions he was doing. All I was thinking to myself was ‘I wonder when he’s going to get a breather in’ because I don’t really know the track very well, thankfully he does. He did have a bit to find but he just got a great ride. When you get the fractions right on the front end, with a horse that has half an engine, you have a great chance. They’ll all come back up the middle of the track, so whether the boys think there is better ground up there I don’t know but it’s worked for us anyway. Charlie Appleby, trainer
