We were delighted with him. He was trapped a little bit wide today and there was a nice pace on so he learned plenty. Ryan had to move early on him and when he got to the front he had a good look. I'd say he would have learned plenty and we've been very happy with his progress form race to race so hopefully he'll progress on again. He just had to keep him up to his job to make sure something wouldn't run him down late. Ryan was very happy and very complimentary when he came in off him. He would have a choice of two races now, probably the Dewhurst or the Vertem Futurity. We'll see how he comes out of it and the lads will decide on one of the two. We won't over-race him. His brother ran in a Group 2 and didn't run any more but this horse looks four weeks ahead of his brother at this stage. Obviously we think he's a classic horse, Guineas/Derby type horse.

The Stewards enquired into an incident in the area of the road crossing soon after the start involving Agitare, ridden by K.J. Manning, placed third, Cormorant, ridden by J.A. Heffernan, placed fifth, Howling Wolf, ridden by R.P. Cleary, unplaced and Sinawann, ridden by R.P. Whelan, placed second, where it appeared that Agitare may have received some interference. Evidence was heard from the riders concerned. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Stewards were unable to apportion blame to any rider and took no further action.
