Dandy said to me 'do whatever you want'. I got a good lead into the straight. We were going so steady I thought that if I got one burst away I'd keep going. He won quite well. He feels like a good horse but he just needs them to run fast. He likes to come off a rattling fast pace but when you're in this kind of company you can do what you like on him. He's had a lot of traffic problems in the past and I just told Chris to make up his own mind on how to ride him. He gave him a great ride and maybe that's the best way to ride him. I brought him over myself and he travelled over really well, ate up everything and he was so relaxed. He'll come back here again and deserves to go for all those races now. He'll go to Dubai at the end of the year. David Nicholls, trainer
