I thought he (Haatem) would be hard beat here today, so I knew when I got to him he had just done everything right for himself and he has dragged me to the line, so he has had to work hard to get by him. My lad can get a bit generous if you put him in a position where he has to be competitive, so the only thing I could do was take (him) out of it. I was confident I was going to get him (Haatem), especially that last bit where he is climbing all the time. Hopefully, they both come out of it okay. No doubt (huge training performance by Richard Hannon), he has rolled the dice on a few occasions and he has come up on top. After the Guineas, he said he really wanted to come here and it has paid off again. He is absolutely brilliant to ride for, like his father before him. We work really well together because he doesn't tell me anything! I think his view is that he has done the training and the riding is completely up to me. If I get it wrong, don't get me wrong, my head is on the chopping block!. Fingers crossed, hopefully Ascot is the next step. I had my first ride here on South Wind Rising (17/4/05) and it is nice to come back with a favourite's chance and deliver. I'm delighted, both of them have run a super race. Rosallion was a bit keen early and Haatem is such a brave horse, he's run such a lovely race and I've never known a horse to have as many supporters as he has. He probably didn't deserve to get beat, but his day will come. Rosallion, I'm absolutely delighted with him,
Richard Hannon, trainer

The Raceday Stewards reviewed an incident on the run to the line involving Haatem, ridden by J.P. Spencer, placed second, River Tiber, ridden by R.L. Moore, placed third, and Rosallion, ridden by S.M. Levey, placed first, where it appeared River Tiber got marginally tight for room. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the matter, the Raceday Stewards were satisfied that no further action was warranted.
