We are getting great support (from syndicate) up here on Wednesday's and Friday's. They are definitely enjoying it. It is a fabulous racecourse and it is great to give lads something to look forward to during the winter time. It is a fabulous outlet week in, week out. He was very impressive the last night in a slowly-run mile and did well to quicken up in the '80' grade. Obviously, it was a step up in the '90' grade tonight, but they went a nice gallop. Leigh Roche's horse (Rockbury Lad) gave us something to aim at up the straight. It was a really true-run mile and I think that is what he needs. He could even get a little bit further in time, but we are going to stick to a mile. He's definitely reliant on pace because he is a hold-up horse. He's a three-year-old horse and we will find something there in the new year. It will be kind of a Newcastle plan with him maybe as well. He's a horse that has a lot of talent, but is still growing up mentally. He's still a little bit babyish, and hopefully that will give him confidence. He's a fine horse. Stephen Thorne, trainer
