You'd be delighted with him obviously. We felt he was just ready to come and the whole reason for running him was to see before we went to Ascot. We felt that he was at a racecourse gallop stage. The lads in Australia said he was a very good horse so we just took it totally on trust. He did five little canters, that's all he did. Ryan was very happy with him. The plan is to go to Ascot for the six furlong race and I think he has to go after that. I think he's only here for Ascot and then gone after that, whatever commitments he has. I thought there would be a lot of improvement in him. I was just hoping for a nice run today, that's all, so it's all a plus. He wasn't stopping today but he's obviously not short of speed either. He made a good bit of ground up from halfway and Ryan was riding him that way because we were afraid he would get tired.
