He hit the line strong and was an impressive winner. They are his conditions — six furlongs, some juice in the ground and a strongly-run race. It was a lovely ride as well and James was patient. It’s lovely as he’s a homebred and owned by Will Armitage and my parents. He’s a real character of a horse and a favourite in the yard. He pops up every year and owes us nothing. He seems best kept fresh for the autumn. We went to Doncaster at the backend of last season and may go there again as Will is based over there.

He's a legend, he's been great for us and won a Group 3 in England last year for us,. He's actually developing into a nice sprinter as he gets older. He had been a bit disappointing this season so it was nice to get him back into calmer waters and get the win. Hopefully we can build from here.

He's a nice horse, he showed an awful lot of ability in the spring and it just took him a while to get it together for various reasons,. We finally got his trip right and the conditions, he just didn't enjoy the all-weather last week. He likes that nice ground and is a turf horse, he'll be a nice three-year-old. The visor is just for focus and you see there he dropped his head when he needed so he's a genuine horse. He's been dead reliable but it's all about getting the winning bracket, he did that today and we're delighted.
