You always think that when it is somebody else's horse (placings would be reversed) but, when it is your own, you are worried. On merit, I think he would have won and he is an improving horse. He went up 8lb, so it was a good effort. He's a very relaxed horse and he's a nice horse. We are hoping that he will probably have another run here, but we would also be hoping that would get a turf and an all-weather mark. He's a very kind horse and has a very relaxed attitude for a sprinter.

All three are smart horses,. Sovereign City just didn't handle the undulations early and didn't get going until it was too late. Janzoor is a smart horse in the making and probably a little bit more juice in the ground wouldn't be any harm for him and a little bit more time too. On his homework Buddy Batt is very similar to the horse that was third in the Group 3 up the Curragh on Saturday for us (Chandigah). There isn't a whole lot between them at home and he's a smart horse this boy as well. We would have been disappointed if he didn't win to tell the truth. We knew all three would be competitive, that's why they came here. You'd have to be delighted with the three, we were only pipped for the one-two-three. Aidan (O'Brien) might be well used to it but we're not!. Buddy Batt had track experience as well and that's a big thing, he had a few runs under his belt. We got down to Cork with him the last day and the ground was a swamp. We let him have the run to get a blow into him and he wasn't knocked around on the day. He's a good ground horse so we knew our fate before the race that day. We'll have a look and see what's coming up for him and see how he comes out of it. He's a very tough individual and whether he's racing or working all he does is eat, sleep and drink. He's a very straightforward horse. If he's not sold we'll see what rating he gets but I wouldn't be afraid of running him in a Listed race.
