There is a horrendous headwind, it's very hard and it was a good brave performance. He's got a great attitude and a great temperament. He's still not got the ground he wants as he wants good ground. I wasn't disappointed the last day as I knew how much Jim Bolger thought of his horse (Round Two). We probably have the second best colt in Ireland, so we'll let him go to Ascot and we'll go for the Railway Stakes. The plan has always been to come here and then go for the Railway Stakes. I would like to commend Naas for putting on a day like this which is a great help in preparing horses for Ascot. They deserve full credit and it's just a pity that the weather has let them down.
