He's a really nice colt, he had been working exceptionally well. All the family take a little bit of time and we're in no hurry with him,. He's come forward in the last few weeks. He's a very good-actioned horse, so I didn't bother with him in the spring on heavy ground. Please God, we've lots to look forward to. It's a great family for us and he's always shown us talent. He was very immature, mentally and physically but he's coming forward nicely. I'll have a chat with Maurice Regan and we'll decide where we go with him. I won't make any decision until I see how he comes home and comes out of the race. Obviously, we'll go into stakes level with him now, there are many ideas in my mind. He's very straightforward and I said if there was no pace to make the running on him. The one thing we didn't want was a messy race with no pace. He was out there in front, he has a lot to learn. I think he jumped the road and Chris said he looked at everything. He'll learn a lot today and he's a real good colt in the making. He quickened up the Old Vic the other day like a horse that would be very effective, even, over six furlongs. D K Weld, trainer
