“He's a very good horse. We loved him here the first day and then I got it wrong when I went back to six. He needs the seven even though he has plenty of toe. Seven or a mile is his real cut,” said Bolger.
“He handles any ground. It was good ground the last day over six and it was still a good effort.
“We were fairly optimistic that we would turn the tables going seven.
“I can see him as being champion European two-year-old! He's the real deal. He's as good as any of the two-year-olds I've had.
“He has a marvellous temperament, great looks. He has everything and is the complete package.
“He's as good as any of the ones that have won the Dewhurst for us. Any of those five. I would think he'll go for the Dewhurst next.
“He's a very sound strong limbed horse and I don't see any problems with faster going or deeper going it will all come alike to him.
“There is no need to look beyond a mile. When you have a horse like that you don't need to think about going further.”
It was a 35th career Group 1 winner for winning jockey Kevin Manning.
Paddpower made the winner 16/1 (from 25/1) for the 2,000 Guineas while Ladbrokes are now 14/1 having been the same price.
