I think he won off something similar (mark) before. At home, he kind of works a bit keen so we were trying him with a shorter trip. He worked very well last week and he kind of stayed at it, so we said we would let him back up to 10 furlongs. I just worried, with the extended 10 here, would he stay and look he just barely held on at the line. We will see whether we will stick to 10 with him or whether we will go back to eight. I'm delighted to get a win out of him. He was kind of off the pace in his runs before. When he was able to lie up with the pace, he seemed to be more into it. P J F Murphy, trainer
