It was a nice performance and a confident ride from Derek O'Connor. The horse won the way I thought he would. Obviously we'll look for a winners' bumper and go from there. He'll always appreciate better ground. My only concern today was the ground as he's a very good-actioned horse. He was a big weak immature horse but you saw a much more mature horse today.
