Doubtless the Ballydoyle plan is to try and exploit any chinks in our stamina, but none of us have ever had any doubts about Canford Cliffs' ability to get the mile and we are going there with our tails up,. Canford Cliffs worked brilliantly for Hughesie (Richard Hughes) on Wednesday morning. It was the best gallop that he has produced this season and Richard got off and said that he was finally getting the same sort of feel that the horse gave him before Royal Ascot last year. Before Newbury, Canford Cliffs' morning exercise was satisfactory but no more than that, but that trial seemed to snap him into action, and we were much happier with him going to Newmarket. I thought he was sure to win going into the Dip, but he hesitated on the ridge of the course and people don't realise how many horses get found out by the undulations of Newmarket. Canford Cliffs will be much more at home at the Curragh and after two disappointments it would be great if we could get him back on track and prove to everybody that he really is a superstar. I know there are still plenty who think that he is a sprinter, but they said the same about Paco Boy. Maybe this time they will be proved right, and if so, we will come back in distance, but we are going to Ireland in a positive frame of mind and we won't be making excuses if we get beat.
