It is great when a plan comes to fruition. He did it well at Tipperary but he was still a green horse there. I was impressed with his attitude more than anything that day so that's why I supplemented him. I knew from Tipperary that he would handle the ground but he doesn't need it soft. I thought Mars and Dawn Approach would come out. This week this horse got new owners and I was keen to run him in this race. Thankfully they were good enough to indulge me. He got a great ride from Chris Hayes who is riding super. He settled him and produced him at the right time. The owners are Team Valor LLC and they are based in America and he will eventually end up over there. He will certainly get further and he is entered in the Beresford Stakes and the Racing Post Trophy. He is not in the National Stakes but everything is on the table.
