It was a very good ride - he kept it simple and positive, and that was what we had in mind tonight. We were hoping, obviously, that he was going to stay. At the same time, last week, it looked like an extra two furlongs wouldn't be a problem. He seems to be going in the right direction. Leigh thinks there might be a good race in him, so hopefully he is right. Leigh thought he was a little bit keen, but then he came back on the bridle and travelled lovely. He is happy and over the weekend he ate up, and we were happy to run him again tonight. The grass on good ground shouldn't be a problem for him going forward. We will consider that and hopefully he will keep improving.
