he was giving away a lot of weight so it was a good weight-carrying performance. He is a colt we have always thought a lot of and obviously he went to the Flying Childers (Group 2 in Doncaster) and came home very sick so got time off. That's why I brought him back in and kept him going for this. This has been the plan and he will probably be put away now. Colin said there that he is still plenty green when he got there, has loads of pace and is only doing enough. You will probably see a better horse in a better race and Colin thought he was a nice horse and that he would get six furlongs. I thought he was a stakes horse during the year and if we still have him next summer, it depends what mark he gets but he could be a horse for that three-year-old only handicap at Ascot. That's a long way away though.

He's a horse I've taken my time with. He's quite enthusiastic at home so we went back to basics with him and we've slowly let him get himself ready for this. He's going to improve plenty. It's more so his mind that made him look so professional today but I think he'll improve a lot from what he's done at home. It looked like a good race on paper beforehand, with the form of Ger's and a few others, so for him to go and do that first time out and Leigh said he thought that he was only in second gear. I thought if he was able to win his maiden today and he looked nice that I might pitch him into something like the Flying Childers. He's quick, he'd get six furlongs I'd say, but he has a lot of speed and there is no point trying to tame it. I'm not trying to talk him up but I honestly don't know where the bottom of him is.
